A miniature all-metal wheel lock pistol, of late 16th century style, blued barrel 1 in., scroll-engraved gilt-metal stock with spherical grip terminal, steel lock with gilt metal components including the wheel housing and the sliding pan cover, lacking its ram rod, probably 20th century and in the manner of Michael Mann. Not deemed to meet the legal definition of a firearm owing to its extremely low potential muzzle energy.
