Popular among France's namesake Apache gangs, these fearsome and easily concealable late 19th-century arms combine a 6-shot pepperbox revolver, folding blade, and brass knuckles. This frame and folding knuckles of this example are constructed of German silver with faint Dolne patent, as well as "J.D.BT / D / 248" markings. Double action only with a pinfire cylinder and spurless hammer, operated by a folding trigger. Unusual stiletto dagger point folding bayonet. This example is housed in a very attractive French fit inlaid dark hardwood case. CONDITION: Very good overall as cleaned in the European fashion. Iron components have some spots of cleaned, older oxidation. Good bores. Fine mechanics. Case has light impressions throughout and a split on the lid but displays exceedingly well. A very attractive and desirable pistol.
Item Dimensions: 7 x 5 x 3"
