The Turbiaux "Squeezer" pistol was patented in France in 1882 by Jacques Edmond Turbiaux. On March 6th, 1883 it was patented in the United States and the patent was bought by Chicago Fire Arms Company. The metal center side plates are marked "BTE S.G.D.C. EN FRANCE ET A L'ETRANGER PARIS" on one side and "LE PROTECTOR SYSTEME E. TURBIAUX" on the other. The serial number "119" is stamped on the cylinder/turret, the side plate and on the bottom inside of the frame. 7 round capacity with hard rubber side plates and a sliding safety.

Very fine, 80% of the original nickel plated finish remains with some small areas of minor pitting, some frosting and some brown patina. The hard rubber side plates are smooth with some scattered light scratches. Mechanically fine.
