The replica of the Volcanic pistol from 1854 weighs approximately 970 g and has a total length of approximately 32 cm.
Who was the original manufacturer of this historical weapon and what significance did its innovative repeating system have for the later development of lever-action repeaters?

The original manufacturers were Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson, who later continued the business as the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company (with investors such as Oliver Winchester). The innovative underlever knee-joint repeating system was of central importance, as it formed the technical basis for the Henry rifle and the subsequent legendary Winchester rifles (Models 1866, 1873, and 1876).
Which historical figures or groups used the Volcanic pistol in the Wild West, and for what purposes was it particularly common?

In the Wild West, the Volcanic pistol was used by lawmen, settlers, outlaws, and bandits for self-defense and robberies, as its lever-action mechanism allowed for rapid firing. During the Civil War, it was also used by Union officers and special forces units. Despite its innovative technology, however, the low stopping power of its caseless ammunition prevented it from becoming a commercial success, and it often served more as a collector's item or technological showcase.
