(A) DAX POCKET WATCH PISTOL

(A) DAX POCKET WATCH PISTOL An interesting self-defense piece, likely developed in the early 20th century when gentlemen wanted a discrete defense tool that would not draw attention at a train station or while walking about town. It superficially resembles a pocket watch but has had the mechanism replaced with a single shot mechanism that fires a rimfire cartridge out of the stem of the watch. Evidence of threading in the thread suggests that there was originally an adaptor of some kind or a cover to disguise the nose of the cartridge. Plunger trigger assembly on the right side of the stem articulates the firing pin. CONDITION: Good, with some scattered handling marks and superficial scratches throughout. Mechanism is not working, with firing pin stuck forward. An interesting example.
