About the Item

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 decorated with delicate incised scrolls. A matching silver ring attaches 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
