(A) UNUSUAL GAMBLER'S COMPANION RING GUN IN PRESENTATION CASE

Highly unusual configuration ring gun, which appears to discharge all six chambers at once. The six chambers are all in a central cylinder, which can be manually pulled away from the body of the ring, revealing a hidden percussion nipple, and locks until the lever is depressed, releasing the cylinder, crushing the cap and firing all six chambers. Brass ring body. Housed in a velvet colored clamshell box French fit for ring, a turnscrew with bone handle, and a bone striker pot with selection of balls and caps. CONDITION: Good. Cylinder essentially gunmetal grey with flashes of bluing, brass with a mellow mustard coloring. Scattered handling marks and rubs, including age buildup in recesses. Box very good with some rubs and peeling, accessories very good. An unusual example of a desirable curiosa.
