This old mini pistol
There are people on here who know such things...I am not one of them, but it is cool.
Very unusual.
I think it's an early cartridge pistol. I assume something flips up/down/over to seal up the breach (back end of the barrel).
The proof marks suggest European.
I challenge you to a duel, Sir! Choose your weapon. Peace Roy

That is one I do not recognize.....There were many early designs that had only limited production. Cheers, RickO
Seems something is missing?
That's different ... and one I know nothing about.
...looks like a 120+ year old outhouse-paper guarder to me
Interesting weapon, looks like parts may be missing?
At first i was like, - what does this have to do with numismatics? then i saw the Lincoln cent in the 6th pic!
Maybe a signal pistol?
