James Warner was a prolific inventor and gun maker who was at one time or another engaged with the following gun makers: Springfield Arms Co., Massachusetts Arms Company, Edwin Wesson, Wesson Stevens & Miller, and Warner & Wesson. Production of this cartridge revolver was halted due to violation of the Rollin White patent. Earlier Warner percussion revolvers were also removed from production due to patent infringement suits. Because of these suits, Warner managed to distinguish himself from many other gun makers by being sued for patent infringement and losing twice, to Colt and to Smith & Wesson, respectively—once with his percussion design and once for this cartridge design. As would be expected, he had to stop production in each instance. The first occasion was with Warner’s preemptive manufacture of a revolving percussion rifle, since Colt’s patent was about to expire, when, in fact, Colt received a patent extension. He was forced to cease production and label his guns for S&W on the second occasion. The overall condition is nearing fine. Much of the original blue has been preserved on the cylinder and other low trafficked metal parts. Sharp markings. The bore I bright, but does contain a patch of light pitting or two. Solid grips.
