The Devisme revolver was very elegant in design and well-engraved for presentation despite being of largely conventional design. The gun body was smooth with clean, curving lines throughout. The barrel was octagonal in nature and hinged on a low-set swivel point to allow for unfettered access to the cylinder for reloading. The cylinder itself was smooth-sided and the pistol grip was integrated into the rear of the receiver, contouring ever so smoothly to form a curved vertical hand hold. The trigger was slender and curved while set within a thin near-circular ring. Barrel length measured in at 4.25 inches.
This revolver became one of the last Devisme percussion arms attempts before he moved on to design and development of rimfire-based guns.
