This is a scarce version of the Chicago Protector Palm Pistol with the trigger made without a hard rubber pad. Approximately 1000 Chicago Protector Palm Pistols were made without pad or any provision for same. Featuring a barrel with a band of floral engraving and the right side of the frame has a similar pattern around the edge, with "THE PROTECTOR / PAT MCH 6 1883" in a circle on the side plate. The left side plate is checkered around the border with "CHICAGO FIRE ARMS CO. / CHICAGO, ILL" in a circle at the center, twists off to reveal the magazine and is numbered to match other components. The right plate and metal disc are both old handmade crude replacements.
