The Walch Revolver is a .36 caliber cap and ball black powder revolving action handgun, designed by Walch Firearms & Co. The revolver was patented in 1859 by John Walch.[1]
The revolver has two variants; a five-chamber model and a six-chamber model. Each variant is capable of firing two shots per chamber, when completely loaded.[2] There are two hammers, and depending on the model, one or two triggers.
Roughly 200 Walch Revolvers were produced between 1859 and 1862, making them quite rare.
