Finger revolvers - The petite protectors

Post by Sender » 17 Oct 2014, 9:28 am

I figured when I saw these they were just jewellery someone had made up, but apparently not.

They're from the 1800's and where nicknamed 'petite protectors', designed for discreet protection like the Deringer, walking stick guns, that kind of thing.

You could get 2mm pinfire or 4mm pinfire ammo versions.
