In fact, the ejection system used on the guns was invented by a Belgian named Jean Mathieu Deprez-Joassart five years earlier in 1873. Deprez-Joassart did patent the mechanism, and Hill appears to have simply claimed the system as his own and convinced a British gunmaker to pay him royalties for guns made with it. <\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Select Fire Weaponry of Waukesha, Wisconsin for loaning me this revolver to film.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks also to Littleton.Be for use of photos of Deprez-Joassart revolvers &#8211; you can see their whole page on the man here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/littlegun.be\/arme%\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/littlegun.be\/arme%<\/a>20belge\/artisans%20identifies%20den\/a%20deprez%20joassart%20gb.htm<\/p>\n<p>Contact:<br \/>Forgotten Weapons<br \/>6281 N.
