Engraved Lebeda Engineering LLC. Percussion Ring Pistol with Case

This interesting ring gun was manufactured by Francis C. Lebeda. The ring itself is of brass construction with the cylinder, bar trigger, and plunger of blued steel. Includes a copper case with a pewter plaque on top to make it appear to be a mere can of Copenhagen chewing tobacco containing four glass vials holding shooting materials. Chewing tobacco, much like these ring pistols, have been a classic combination with the saloons and gamblers of the old west, making this cased set all the more unsuspecting. A plaque on the bottom of the case tells the family history of master gunsmith Francis C. Lebeda.

ConditionVery fine as custom made, retains 98% of the original nitre blue finish with some very light edge wear and mostly bright brass. Mechanically excellent. The case is excellent showing an attractive antique patina and minimal handling/storage evidence.
