Description:

The revolver combines a double action revolver with folding German silver knuckles and a 3 inch folding dagger. "L. DOLNE INVUR" is stamped under the serial number on the right front of the frame. There are flourishes of factory floral scroll engraving on the top and sides of the frame. The cylinder and frame have faint crossed scepter proofs. The Apache revolver received its nickname from the Parisian street gangs of the late 19th century and early 20th century. These criminals were particularly fond of using hand to hand combat. The brass knuckles obviously fit this style well. The revolver and knife were also suitable for use in a multi-person attack that was commonly used: one member of the gang would disable the victim with a scarf or similar item while the other picked through their pockets for valuables. They could be used as a threat to ensure compliance.

Rating Definition:

Very good, retains 30% of the original silver plated finish, mostly in in sheltered areas, with the balance of the German silver mostly bright and the iron showing mostly a dark grey patina with some scattered light pitting. The engraving is crisp. Mechanically functions, though the grip hinge sometimes come unlatched upon trigger pull.
