Description Being among the first countries west of the Dragonspine Mountains to adopt firearms, each of the main cities in the Kingdom of Torion has a guild of gunsmiths, which have recieved a fair amount of custom from nobles, militias, city regiments, the royal government, mercenary companies and foreign clients. With the arrival of Infrastructural designs, these gunsmiths have only expanded in size and wealth. Many have tried to replicate infrastructural technologies with a wide range of success in their products. While all the guilds have produced the Prince Ailtor Revolving rifle, they also make their own line of subtly different weapons. Among the most sucessful of these is the Tivro Gunsmith Guild Approved Design of 1406 for revolvers (here-to-fore refered to as the Tivro Guild Revolver).

The Tivro Guild Revolver is a fairly modest cap and ball design with a fair amount of conservatism. Among these is a side mounted hammer, which does make it somewhat awkward to cock. It has a caliber of 5 Linea (9.675mm), the standard caliber for pistols in the Kingdom of Torion. In the Kingdom of Torion it competes with seven other guild's designs for revolvers, though the Tivro Guild has come to account for a third of all Torion made revolver pistols. This is thanks to the Tivro guild's acquisition of a few Infrastructural manuals on machine tools and the fact that the weapon's design is remarkably simple.

Great work. Whether it's Victorian or Modern, revolvers look awesome.

I personally prefer the older designs for revolvers on the whole. They were still experimenting and trying out a range of things, so you have a wide range of variation that you generally don't see in more modern revolvers. There are exceptions, but this is the general rule for me.
