    Elisha Collier of Boston invented a flintlock revolver around 1814, probably the earliest such weapon. It was produced from 1819 into the 1820s by John Evans & Son of London, and used in quantity by the British forces in India.


    That's the official definition tho' I believe I've read before that he had prototypes in the late 1700s.

    Collier's first attempt was apparently in 1797. The one pictured is an expample from 1818.
