Vainn80 has posted on several interesting British revolvers (and one auto pistol). An interesting subject to which I will add an odd and interesting gun. It is a Kynoch revolver and one of several different break top designs made in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
The gun is a trigger cocker. Like the old Starr "double action", the trigger cocks the hammer. At the user's option, it may then also fire the gun, as in a double action, or leave the hammer cocked for the second trigger to actually release the hammer. The idea here is that for double action firing, both the index and the middle finger pull the combined trigger; for single action, the middle finger pulls the bottom of the trigger while the index finger then fires the gun, with a light trigger pull. The checkered device on the trigger allows the hammer to be let down without firing, something necessary on a concealed hammer gun.
