Gerard
This video details the South American Gerard revolver, a break-action firearm modified from the Spiller design. It features a unique top-break action with an integrated ejector assembly. Historically, Brazil purchased 100 units in 1873 for military schools and officers, and it was considered as a replacement for the Lefaucheux pinfire revolver. Despite trials favoring Mauser revolvers, a purchasing officer's unauthorized acquisition led to significant numbers of Gerards being procured and subsequently used in Brazil until 1906.
