A 4-barrel blunderbuss. Unfortunately the author doesn't give any further information to this piece.

Hi Andi,

I am sure you realize that this is a characteristic piece of 'Mickey Mouse' comic standard quality made in zinc injection-molding technique! It is by no means a 'weapon' of any kind.

Best,

It was not my intention to pull anybodies leg I already doubt about this piece as the material of the barrel really looks like a cheap zinc injected moulded deco pistol - but I was not 100%ly sure. And I should have mentioned by doubts earlier in my initial post

But I am sure the other pieces on the other images are real - the cruzifix and the double pistol book - such as this piece, a muzzle loader pistol of a German clergyman of the 18th century found at http://www.mdr.de/echt/spionage130_s...-f4720c3a.html

Pleaes accept this as apology for my initial post

I don't think those are so old Andi,
Contrary to the scope of the forum, which is devoted to real old weapons, i will exceptionaly post here some of those 'spionage' gadgets.
The crucifix is also contemplated.
