Note: Little seems to be known about the origin of the so-called ‘Raphael’ revolvers. It is believed some 1000 examples were purchased for the Union army from Raphael & Company in New York and, by repute, Mr. Raphael was an acquaintance of President Lincoln. However, though apparently manufactured in France, lack of any maker or pantentee markings make further attribution difficult.

Note: Paul Belloni Du Chaillu, 1835-1903, was an American explorer and ethnologist of great distinction. Born in New Orleans, he was educated in Paris and at an early age went to Africa, where his father ran a trading post at the mouth of the Gabon River. After returning to America, in 1855 he mounted an expedition to equatorial Africa where he traversed some 8000 miles, much of it previously unexplored, while accompanied only by native guides. He added some sixty species of birds and 20 species of mammals to the known zoology of Africa. Returning to the United States four years later, he brought with him a number of animals, including the first gorillas ever seen in the U.S. In 1861 he published Adventures in Equatorial Africa, which aroused some controversy as it contradicted a number of prevailing zoological, geographical and ethnological theories. A second expedition resulted in the publication A Journey to Ashango-Land, in which he confirmed the findings of his first expedition and verified reports of the Pygmy peoples living in central Africa. In later years he traveled in northern Europe and published his findings in The Land of the Midnight Sun: Summer and Winter Journeys through Sweden, Norway, Lapland and Northern Finland. In all he authored some 14 books.
