This is an example of a 20th century copy of a unique 19th century style French pinfire ring gun. These ring pistols are oddities and appeal to collectors purely as conversation pieces. The band of the ring has a light floral type engraving and is marked "LE FEMME FATALE". This ring gun features a small hand rotated 6-shot pinfire cartridge cylinder that must be removed for loading/unloading. The pins of the cartridges are struck by the base of the hammer (any pinfire cartridge is obsolete). The included case has a small "FEMME/FATALE" marked silver plaque on the lid and contains six pinfire cartridges and a small screwdriver.

Very fine as custom made, retaining 95% plus blue finish on the cylinder, seer, and trigger with minimal handling marks on the ring body. Case is very good with storage and handling marks. Mechanically fine.
