I have a French 7mm Pepperbox Revolver chambered for 6 rounds. It was given to me back in 1986, Then I was offered $500 but since I knew the dealer I didnt bite.
BTW. it was given to me because it was rusted to the point of being mechanically frozen. After removing the wood, I soaked it in Miracle oil for a couple of weeks. I cleand it up the best that I could. I'm having problems identifying the manufacturer year and model 
It looks sort of like this one but mine has some damage on wood grip and damaged front mount and cap extractor pin. I also dont have the case but i dont think that matters to some collectors but it does to some.' 
I found this dealer here in the US. http://www.cwslagleantiques.com/view_detail.cfm?catid=66&id=2612

Same maker
http://www.ambroseantiques.com/ppistols.htm 
A RARE & VERY FINE ENGRAVED & IVORY GRIP FRENCH "APACHE" 9 mm PINFIRE PEPPERBOX PISTOL, ca. 1860: In overall very fine untouched condition with choice Blued steel surfaces with extensive fine quality scroll engraving. Complete and original throughout, with its original blued-steel lanyard-ring, on the bottom of the scroll engraved grip-strap. In mechanical functional order with fine timing, a strong mainspring and a smooth action. Simply carved and fluted, bag-shaped, elephant ivory grips with sharp contours, a nicely toned yellowed age-patina, no cracks and an old and small chip, at the top edge of the left grip. Central Bar-Hammer, Double-action, Pinfire Mechanism, of classic Apache form, with a round-top hammer and cluster-type, fluted and engraved, 9 mm, "pepperbox" barrels: retains choice metal surfaces with floral scroll engraved flats, 75%+ blued finish and excellent bores with sharp rifling and virtually no pitting. Flat-sided, blued, steel frame with 75%+ finish and sharp scroll engravings, en suite with the barrel-cluster. Retractable, hinged-type trigger with its original screws and matching smooth contours. In overall very fine untouched condition. The frame with sharp engraving, much finish, some minor signs of use and a "2660" Serial number, on the bottom edge of its front. Fine backstrap with light wear to its finish and matching engraving. The grips with smooth and nicely aged surfaces and the engraved steel washers and screws: some light wear and age-stains. Very fine barrel-cluster and mechanism with choice finish and sharp engraving: light signs of use and wear. Original throughout, including the screws, external bridles and springs. A very nice and better than usual example of these distinct Continental Pepperbox Pistols of the mid 19th century. The "Apache Pistol" was so named, due to its frequent use by Parisian Street Gangs of the 19th Century, who were collectively called, "Apaches". A high quality, "factory engraved" Ivory grip example, ca. 1860s. Overall length, 6 1/2". Price: $1,875.00 |

30-shot pin fire revolver made in France, no serial #, maker's name or proof stamps, cal. 7mm. 6" over and under barrels with dovetail front sight. The cylinder depicts 20 cartridge bores in the outer and 10 bores in the inner circle. Pulling the hammer it turns the cylinder only 12 degrees hitting either a cartridge in the inner or outer ring. Double action only, folding trigger, lanyard ring. The revolver is in fine working order, the condition shows the expected wear. It is the first 30-shot revolver in my possession. Made during the 1860's. NRA very good condition $7,750. 
The above shares the same trigger and spring obove the trigger(see mine)
