A Superb Pocket Watch Chain Fob in the Form of a Flintlock Pistol

This rare pocket watch fob is intended as an eye catching and interesting decoration for a watch chain.

It is beautifully made in polished steel with silver mounts in the form of a miniature flintlock pistol.

It remarkably has a fully working and detailed action for cocking and firing the hammer with the spring loaded trigger. There is also a separate spring loaded locking mechanism for opening the hinged barrel.

The pistol has eye-catching and ornate silver grips which are decorated with delicate incised scrolls, and there is a matching silver ring for attaching this fine pistol to a silver watch chain.

The barrel is stamped with the word Austria on the top edge.

This fine watch fob is a rare example and is in very good original condition.

Austrian, circa 1900

Height 2cm x width 4 cm x depth 0.6cm
