Cased Palm Pistol
A scarce, cased French Le Merveilleux repeating palm pistol realized a comfortable $3,383, including premiums, at the May 28, 2020, Morphy Auctions sale. The circa-1890 6mm rimfire repeater with a 2 7/ 8 -inch barrel, though originally nickel-plated, is missing a good deal of its original finish, which has been replaced by a pleasing patina. The grip is decorated with thermoplastic panels depicting the gun’s name and foliate designs. It is fitted in a French-style display case, also containing an original tin for primers. Overall, it is a very nice presentation. For more information, visit Morphy Auctions at morphyauctions.com.…
