This is a 6 shot ladies ring gun in 2mm pinfire
made by an unknown maker. The back side of the ring is hand engraved "FEMME FATALE". The ring looks to be silver,
and has some nice vine type hand engraving around the perimeter. The barrel group, hammer, trigger, recoil shield, and spring
are fire blued steel. The cylinder measures .429" in diameter and .264" long. I do not have a ring sizer, but the
inside of the ring measures .650". The ring is 1.338" long overall. The recoil shield is .561" in diameter.
Complete with a nice burgundy pebble grain leather hinged top case with push button latch. The lid has an inlaid silver
escutcheon that is hand engraved "FEMME FATALE" in two lines. The interior French fit and lined in a dark green
velour. Included with the case is a small jeweler's screwdriver for removing the barrel to load the ring gun. Also included
are six - 2mm pinfire blank rounds. A similar ring gun was featured on the show "Pawn Stars" at an asking price
of $9.5K. The owner was offered $7K which he refused. Another similar ring gun recently sold in the James Julia auction for
over $21K!!! Just this past September 2012, there were three ring guns in the Rock Island Auction. All were estimated to bring
$3.5K - $5K and all sold for over $6.3K including the buyer's premium. It's obvious that interest is very high on these right
now! Mine is bargain priced compared to the auctions. Photo 2, Photo 3, Photo 4, Photo 5, Photo 6, Photo 7, Photo 8, Photo 9!!!!!Christmas Special $3,850.00!!!!!
