Scarce "Curiosa" E. Carlstrom Sleeve Rifled Barrel Pistol with Original Box

This sleeve pistol was described in Elek B. Juhasy's August 27, 1929 patent as an "automatic concealed firearm for self defense." The rifled barrel unscrews for loading and fires a .30 caliber center fire cartridge. The pistol is fastened to a leather strap by a metal stiffener which is marked "PATENTED E. CARLSTROM CHICAGO/4852S MAY ST./U.S.A." The leather strap has elastic bands to fit around the forearm. A striker similar to that found on pen pistols is pulled back in order to cock the gun. The striker is released when the operator pulls back on a wire that is attached to a ring on the middle finger by flipping the hand upwards. The pistol has a two piece black box. This pistol is described in Lewis Winant's book FIREARMS CURIOSA, pages 161-162.

ConditionVery fine. The pistol retains 80% original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the balance. The leather strap is fine with some minor flex wear. A button replaces the ring. Mechanically fine. The box is very good.
