Pennebecker Revolver,A unique revolver that is one of a kind, this interesting six shot single action percussion pistol was made by William Pennebecker Jr. of Lancaster, PA. According to records Pennebecker was a gunsmith who made flintlock and percussion rifles, but made this one of a kind piece. It is unknown when it was made as Pennebecker lived from 1818 - 1880 and had a very long career. While the pistol has a revolving cylinder it only has one nipple for percussion caps. As a result the user must cock the pistol and place a cap after each shot. -- source link
