~ 19th Century Anti-Grave Robber’s Percussion Pistol ~

This unusual and rare piece used to be used against people who used to rob the graves or even still the dead. This was a very lucrative business, due to the fact that a lot of the bodies were used for scientific purposes, even if legally this was not permitted.

Also, some of the dead were buried with some precious belongings.

The system worked through a series of pressure-acted springs.

~ Condition ~

the piece doesn’t seem to be 100% complete. Probably is missing one more spring.
