Mark & John PATTISON
This is the so called "Rigby-System" which was invented around 1825 and which was in use but a very short time. As most of the percussion pistols with this system are signed "Rigby", it is called "the Rigby-System". Rigby-pistols are rather rare and were built by William & John Rigby, Dublin, but there is no doubt that other Dublin gunmakers as MARK & John PATTISON made pistols with the Rigby system as well.
The Rigby System was quit simple. Instead of turning the barrels and having two cocks, there is a small disk with a hammer nose which has to be turned by hand after each shot.
