Confusion
[edit]There is some confusion here, three models of the Swiss revolver are discussed without adequate differentiation.
The model 1872 revolver was manufactured in Belgium and chambered for the .41 Rimfire.
The model 1872/78 revolver was a conversion of the model 1872 to .41 Centrefire.
The model 1878 was a new Schmidt design manufactured in Switzerland and chambered for the .41 Centrefire.
The featured image is of the 1878 revolver.
This is explained in this article's reference text Pistols: An Illustrated History of Their Impact.
I will attempt to tidy up this article, but I am no expert on Swiss revolvers so some further editing may be required.
