Now the collecting item of a lifetime!

Extremely rare piece!

This has never been sold on huutokaupat.com before!

Rimfire black‑powder walking‑cane firearm, c. 1885.

Can one call it a pistol or a shotgun…

No purchase permit required; this piece is permit‑free, checked with authorities.

Not a pin‑fire weapon but the more modern rimfire type.

Fires black‑powder cartridges.

Very little fired, perhaps only a few shots before the First World War.

Length approx. 85 cm and calibre about 8 mm (probably around .32).

Completely original, intact and functional!

Agent's weapon, poacher's weapon, self‑defence weapon.

The mechanism works well; it may be capable of firing but under no circumstances plan to shoot it — collector's piece for display only...

Fully straight, screw‑off removable barrel, no internal corrosion.

Amazingly clever mechanism!

Lightweight!

Some markings; country of manufacture likely England, France, Germany or Belgium.

Should be kept in a locked cabinet or similar, out of children's reach.

Worth coming to see and inspect even from afar; another chance to buy such an item will not come!

Not cheap but a permit‑free rarity and a real attention‑getter...

A wolf in sheep's clothing...

Call for more information if interested in this oddity...
