Description:

Measuring in at a total length of 37 1/2 inches, with a brass tip on the wood veneered round steel shaft, which flares at the top and connects to the head, which is a 1 3/4 inch ribbed and flared ivory base, leading up to the iron knob, which is decorated with excellent gold damascene floral patterns and bands surrounding a scene of a dragon fighting a snake. Amid the border are three dragon heads, two small dragons, and a nude female figure. Pulling the head from the shaft reveals the weapon, a six shot folding trigger percussion revolver, topped with a 6 3/4" triangular dagger. The dagger is checkered at the bottom and threaded to the cylinder pin, serving to retain the cylinder. Cylinder and frame are silver finished brass, with a capping cutout on the right side and a striker that lays flush with the frame when inactive.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. The shaft shows some mild dings, light veneer cracks and wear appropriate to use. Approximately 95% of the original gold wash is visible on the revolver section, with a bright patina on the exposed sections. Blade is slightly turned at the tip, and bright overall. The head is superb, with mild aged cracking and fine grain on the base and strong designs on the head, with the blackened matte textured iron lending an attractive contrast to the 100% present gold. A fine addition to any collection of concealed or combination weapons.
