Austrian Marine Revolver (Gasser) Model 1870
Hello,
I'd like to know if anyone knows a source (unlikely) or rough measurements to fabricate a replacement ejector rod for for a Model 1870 Marine Gasser.
Also, does anyone have any specific information on that model variation as far as serial number ranges, ratio to standard Army m1870s, etc?

Yes it is a Gasser "Marine" model

Not so. Please look more closely.
The revolver is indeed an example of the Gasser M/1870 Marine model. The wedge that holds the barrel is a feature unique to this model.
Another feature visible in the photos is that the barrel block is facetted, instead of being rounded off at the top.
A third feature, not so obvious in the photo (kotkinjs1, perhaps you could make a photo with the gate open?) is that the loading gate is hinged at the top, not the bottom.
