(A) PARIS BREVETTE CANE PERCUSSION PEPPERBOX REVOLVER WITH STILLETO BLADE.

This handsome brass tipped wood cane has an antler handle with scroll embossed sheet silver collar. Silver hallmarks are somewhat illegible. When the handle is pulled out a nicely made pepperbox revolver with a 5" stiletto blade is revealed. The fierce four sided blade is marked "BREVETTE PARIS". The manually operated percussion 4-barrel cylinder is finished in fire blue and is Liege proofed. It is manually cocked with a pair of floral engraved cocking pieces, the striker also engraved with scroll. The trigger is a button concealed in the silver collar. CONDITION: Fine. Cane retains the majority of its original finish with rubs, handling marks, and craquelure throughout. Handle appears reaffixed with an added pin and some older adhesive residue. Silver has a very pleasant mellow patina. Blade has some freckling. Revolver frame retains the majority of its brilliant nitre blue, the barrels also retaining significant portions of fading blue. The bright finished small parts are still largely bright with a few spots and light patina. Fine mechanics.
