You got it. It was a top break with a thumb latch (like modern swing-out S&W revolvers) with an internal lockwork comparable to modern S&W revolvers. You would have to press both the thumb latch and the top latch to open the gun to load and unload. The idea of it was if you had the gun drawn, the opponent could not disable your gun by just grabbing the top latch to open the revolver up. I honestly did not know this gun existed until I saw an internet picture of one and wondered what it was.
