Text only available in German: Laut Bundesratsbeschluss (BRB) vom 27. September 1878 wurde der Musterrevolver Nr. 8, System Warnant zum Ordonnanzrevolver 1878 erklärt.   Diese Ausführung wurde jedoch nie hergestellt, da von Rudolf Schmidt viele Änderungsvorschläge eingereicht wurden. Diese wurden von Friedrich Vetterli überprüft und flossen gemäss Bundesratsbeschluss vom 21. Mai 1879 in die Produktion ein.   Vom Revolver 1878 (Model 1878 Ordnance Revolver) wurden total 4'601 Stück hergestellt, wovon 4'600 Stück an die Kriegsmaterialverwaltung (KMV) geliefert wurden.   Die Waffen waren in zwei Lieferungen aufgeteilt: Lieferung von 1880: 3'400 Revolver Lieferung von 1881: 1'200 Revolver   Die Seriennummern sind nicht überliefert.
