If you shoot it ‘gangsta’ style the oil will drip out, potentially setting the shooter on fire. Hmmm.... perhaps this Darwin Award feature could be added to current era pistols? Could see a drastic drop off in the Chicago murder rate!

Definitely a violation of the anti-gun laws of today.

17mm. That would make this sucker between .60 & .70 caliber which is on par with most Horse Pistols of the day. Probably had a charge of around 40-50 grains of (black) powder. Not very accurate but if it did hit you it did a lot of damage.
Cool as hell. I love seeing some of the stuff the early gun smiths and clock makers did in this time frame. They were very innovated and came up with some ingenious firearms and clocks.

The light part is cool. Is there an amplification by stimulated emission of radiation attachment which fits on it?

Why would anyone from that era want to put a target on their pistol?

Pretty cool - maybe for a night watchman or somesuch. I remember the old time pistol shaped like a key on Pawn Stars a few years back.
Any firearm prior to 1899 requires no paperwork.

That thing must produce some weird kind of recoil. Will the barrel flip go down or up?
