Le Petit Protector Style "La Femme Fatale" Ring Gun with Case

This is an example of a unique 19th century style custom made French pinfire ring gun which was subsequently made by unknown parties in the 20th century. These ring pistols are oddities and appeal to collectors purely as conversation pieces. The band of the ring has a light floral type engraving and is marked "LA FEMME FATALE". This ring gun features a small hand rotated 6-shot pinfire cartridge cylinder that must be removed for loading/unloading. The pins of the cartridges are struck by the base of the hammer. (Any pinfire cartridge is obsolete.) The included jewelry style case is unmarked but fitted for the ring/gun.

Rating definitionVery fine as custom made, retaining 98% of the blue finishes with some very light edge wear. Mechanically appears to function as it should. The case is fine with some minor handling/storage wear.
