RARE LE PROTECTOR FRENCH PALM PISTOL.

RARE LE PROTECTOR FRENCH PALM PISTOL. Cal. 22 Short. SN 911.12 Built similar to the famous Chicago Palm Pistol but in a reduced size. Nickel finish with 1-1/2″ oct to rnd bbl with smooth gutta percha side plates with the left side having a center escutcheon marked “LE PROTECTOR / SYSTEME E. TURBIAUX”. This little pistol, unlike the small front trigger safety of the Chicago Palm Pistol, has a sliding safety around the rear circumference that, when engaged, blocks the squeezer lever from completing its travel. CONDITION: Fine plus. Metal is cleaned bright but retains 75-80% orig nickel with some light pitting on the bbl and a little heavier pitting on the squeezer handle. Mechanics are all orig & fine. Smooth bore is bright with scattered pitting. 4-57183 JR553 (1,000-1,500)
