The Massachusetts Arms Company of Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts was a manufacturer of firearms and firearm-related products from about 1849 into the early 20th century. The Massachusetts Arms Company Leavitt's patent side hammer percussion revolver is a significant historical firearm manufactured between 1850 and 1851. It was a collaborative design based on patents held by Edwin Wesson and Daniel Leavitt. It utilized Daniel Leavitt's April 29, 1837, patent for a revolving cylinder and Edwin Wesson's August 28, 1849, patent for the bevel gear system. Only approximately 800 to 1,000 units of the original Wesson & Leavitt model were produced before a lawsuit by Colt challenging patent infringements regarding their revolving cylinder mechanisms ceased production, making them scarce today. The cylinder is released for loading by a release catch on the barrel spigot, the hinged barrel is then moved upwards to allow access to the cylinder. This is very good, original, rare to find example of a Massachusetts Arms Smith’s 1849 & Leavitt’s 1837 Patent revolver. The top of the cylinder frame is signed "MASS ARMS CO CHICOPEE FALLS".
