This video features firearm expert Jonathan Ferguson examining an unusual chain retainer system for a pinfire revolver by Alexandre Fagnus, a Liege-based gunmaker from around 1875. The system, which suspends the cylinder, is compared to a British plug chain. Ferguson explains why this innovative design, despite its uniqueness, did not become widely adopted in revolvers of that era.
