Patent attorney is unexpected! The Forehand & Wadsworth's sure seem to have the same design influences, hadn't thought of Moore possibly being the common thread. and only "knew" he was a freelance gun inventor in Brooklyn who'd had his own revolver company in the 1860's. That's an article I'd sure like to read, I've been running across Moore's name researching Merwin Hulbert, Hopkins & Allen etc. he probably had his hand in on the F&W guns, too.

It's not a stationary loading gate that "falls" between chambers when the cylinder indexes. It pivots on the frame, held by a slotted bolt at at about the bottom of the frame window. They have a kinda knurled/ribbed top that you put your right hand thumb on and swings out and open so you can load. Maybe loading gate is the wrong terminology.
