This is an example of an unmarked Shattuck Unique Palm Pistol that was manufactured from 1901 to 1915 with only several thousand having been produced. Several features of this arm were integrated in Mossberg's Brownie pistol. Held with the barrel group emerging from the top of the hand, and the index and ring fingers on either side of the firing mechanism, which is squeezed with the middle finger to fire. The matching serial number on the barrel group and frame is the only marking on the pistol. All blue finish (note that nickel finish was standard). An ejection rod is stored in a compartment in the right side of the frame. Provenance: The Gateway Collection

Very fine. The pistol retains 60% original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown-gray patina. Mechanically fine.
