The pepper-box revolver or simply pepperbox (also "pepper-pot", from its resemblance to the household pepper grinder) is a multiple-barrel repeating firearm that has three or more barrels grouped around a central axis. It mostly appears in the form of a multi-shot handheld firearm. Pepperboxes exist in all ammunition systems: matchlock, wheellock, flintlock, percussion, pinfire, rimfire and centerfire.
In the 15th century, several single-shot barrels were attached to a stock, being fired individually by means of a match. Around 1790, pepperboxes were built on the basis of flintlock systems, notably in England. This replica Pepperbox revolver is non-firing and is typical of the type of firearm popular in North America from 1830 until the American civil war.

Pepperbox
Not bad, fair representation of this gun. Barrel sort of spins when trigger is pulled. Very brass colored, I used a panel liner to bring out the detail. Weight and size is close.
