Description
Early Photographic Flash Pistol with Gutta Percha grips and trigger mechanism. A brass bowl was filled with magnesium powder and when fired a cap ignited the magnesium making a flash while a picture was snapped. The gun-like shape is marked "PAT. PD'G", and the maker inscribed "Chelsea" on the lid of the bowl. Measuring approximately 7" from butt to bowl, the pistol is in working condition. A small dent can be found in the closure. All that is needed is the right amount of chemical placed in the bowl.Auction Info
