The Dhaka Times Desk From a distance, one might think it is a large ring. But actually it is a miniature pistol. The smallest pistol in the world was auctioned!
It looks like a ring but is actually a miniature pistol. Maybe no one will believe. But it's still a pistol. The smallest pistol in the world. Recently this pistol was auctioned. Named 'La Petite Protector', the pistol has already gained a reputation as a rarity of the 19th century. This pistol can also be worn as an ornament. The auction organizers believe that the price of the pistol can go up to 1500 pounds (1 lakh 66 thousand rupees).
This pistol has a steel recoil plate, which acts as a pinfire cylinder. Live fourmms are used in this cylinder. It can be fired directly. There is a lot of noise when firing, but because of the very short range, the force of the shot is low. This auctioned pistol is still in good condition. The pistol has silver plating on the inside and engraving on the surface.
Alain Dilmen, an expert at European online auction house Katawiki, said, 'The rare ring pistol is extremely attractive and well-crafted,' according to media reports. It can easily be called an extraordinary thing.'
This auction will continue till March 18 tomorrow.
