Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day!  In the heyday before Colt’s patent popularized revolving firearms, gunsmiths across Europe experimented with their own unique revolver designs. One such artisan inventor, Salvatore Mazza of Naples, crafted a breathtaking and unorthodox personal defense pistol around 1820-1830. This five-chambered hand cannon proudly bore Mazza’s name inlaid in gold, declaring him the official armorer to Royalty. But looks only hinted at the ingenuity within.

Welcome to today’s Photo of the Day!  Handcrafted in Nicaragua, the Osorio is a cleverly designed .22 caliber machine pistol that exhibits impressive craftsmanship for a one-off build. It utilizes an Italian-made 22-round magazine and fires from an open bolt in either semi-automatic or full-auto modes. Its selective-fire mechanism is particularly notable.
