Class: Antique
Description:

The revolver combines a double action revolver with folding German silver knuckles and a 3 1/2 inch folding dagger. "L. DOLNE INVUR" is stamped under the serial number on the right front of the frame. 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 with mottled brown/gray patina on the blued surfaces, and the frame has faint traces of German silver plating and otherwise an aged patina overall with minor marks. Mechanically fine.
