| BELGIAN , 5m/m PIN FIRE , DOUBLE ACTION, FOLDING TRIGGER,
ENGRAVED POCKET PISTOL 1860'S This is a " flashy" and very small Pocket Pistol, of the 1860's. It uses one of the earliest self contained ignition systems, the Pin Fire cartridge. The 5m/m is equivalent to our .22 cal. short. The pistol is factory engraved, and fitted with very "artistically designed " hard rubber grips.
It has a 2 inch barrel, and the over all length of the entire pistol is merely 5 inches. It has a 6 shot cylinder, and a unique folding trigger, for easy "pocket " storage. Today, it has about 85-90% of the original nickel plated finish, and the engraving , as are all applied markings, is sharp and clear. The mechanics of operation all function perfectly. The stylistic hard rubber grips have a " fighting " bird design, and are in perfect condition. A nice example of a early pocket pistol, PRICE $ 410 |
