The Savage & North 'Figure 8' revolver, patented by Henry North, offered a unique mechanical design for its time. Its 'Figure 8' lever system allowed for rapid firing by cocking the hammer and rotating the cylinder simultaneously, a significant advantage over contemporary Colt revolvers. The design also featured an innovative sealed cylinder-barrel interface to reduce gas flash and was tested by the US military in 1856.
