Produced by an unknown maker, this is a 6-shot manually rotated pinfire pepperbox revolver installed onto a German silver ring. The design originated in France, most commonly under the "Petit Protector" name, with small 4mm chambers which could accept a solid ball round or a blank cartridge. The ring is decorated with light vine engraving and "LE FEMME FATALE" around a niter blue drive spring for the smooth hammer. Included with the lot is a jewelry case which holds the ring pistol and three pinfire cartridges.
