.40 caliber, 26" octagonal barrel, S/N 224 This rare First Model P.W. Porter revolving rifle is one of about 300 produced.  20 of the 300 were used in military trials.  With all the characteristics including the radial turret design patented by Porter. This is an amazing and rare find for a collector.   The numbers match on the cylinder, frame and barrel.  Marked on the right flat of the Barrell Address, "P.W. Porter, New York.  P.W.
