Description

Curious little office safe. Fitted with a pistol alarm system at the rear, constructed of steel plate and brass plate, brass top, opening to two doors with brass lock plate and resting on four hollowed-out feet, one of the doors is fitted with an exposed system lock on the inside, with its opening key ring chased with the "R" to days. Opened, it features two brass shelves and a lockable drawer with a steel key cut with the letter "E". On the back, an exposed mechanical system with a rack-and-pinion rod allows the pistol to be cocked or uncocked. The single-shot pinfire pistol operates by opening the safe, provided the rack and pinion has been previously cocked. Below the system, the tilting breech pistol fires a 12 mm pinfire cartridge. T.B.E. Circa 1880-1900. Fine craftsmanship, complete with two keys. A refillable aluminum pinfire cartridge case is included. 31 x 20 x 24 cm
