The ring looks to be silver, and has some nice vine type hand engraving around the perimeter. The barrel group, hammer, trigger, recoil shield, and spring are fire blued steel. The cloverleaf fluted cylinder measures .568" across and .435" long. I do not have a ring sizer, but the inside of the ring measures .839". The ring is 1.71" long overall. The recoil shield is .670" in diameter. Complete with a nice oval brass clamshell casing.  The interior French fit and lined in a dark green velour with brown piping.  Included with the case is one small jeweler's screwdriver for removing the barrel to load the ring gun.

Another similar ring gun recently sold in the James Julia auction for over $21K! Just this past September 2012, there were three ring guns in the Rock Island Auction. All were estimated to bring $3.5K - $5K and all sold for over $6.3K including the buyer's premium. It's obvious that interest is very high on these right now!

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/3 scale Colt number 3 Thuer single shot side swing derringer made by an unknown maker.  Very similar to the one shown in Bob Urso's book, The Tiniest Guns, Third Edition, on page 84, and attributed to David Kucer.  This one has no Kucer markings or serial number, and has a totally different hammer from the one pictured in Bob's book.  Like the one in Bob's book, this one has a brass adaptor that enables it to shoot the more modern thick rim 2mm rimfire blank cartridges.  I think if the adaptor was relieved for the pin, it would also shoot the 2mm pinfire blanks from the hammer design.  1 13/126" long overall with a 1 3/32" rifled barrel of .15 caliber.  The frame looks to be nickel or silver plated, but may be German silver.  The barrel is blued and has the Colt markings on top of the barrel.  The hammer, trigger, and barrel pivot screw are fire blued.  The two piece grips look to be ebony with brass screw escutcheons.  This pistol has a functional ejector that will eject the brass adaptor across the room, so be careful when you open it!  Great condition, the barrel showing about 50% original blue, the rest turning a nice patina gray/brown.  The frame showing a little patina, mostly on the bottom.  The grips are near mint.  Cased in an old hinged photo type case, French fit.  The interior bottom lined in a medium blue felt.  The interior lid lined in a russet velour with a pattern.   This is yet another piece I've never seen before and any information as to the maker would really be appreciated. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!	!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is not a miniature, but it is way cool!  It's a gadget gun!  This is a fish hook gun.  4 9/16" long, 2 3/4" wide.  It shoots the 4mm centerfire German Ubungsmunition 20, or 4mm centerfire Flobert.  The fish hook unscrews to insert the cartridge.  The hook is then supposedly baited cocked, and the line let out.  When the fish takes the bait, you set the hook, and the gun goes off, killing or wounding the fish.  Blue steel finish with the firing pin and sear finished in the white.  Really nice condition showing about 80 - 85% original rust blue, the balance turning a smooth metallic plum purple/brown.  This is the only one like this with the extended barrel that I have ever seen. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!

Weston of Mexico City, Mexico.  Probably made in the 1950's or 1960's.  100% fully functional and chambered to shoot the .22 short rim fire cartridge.  20 3/4" long overall with a 10" .22 caliber rifled barrel.  Brass frame, sideplates, cartridge lifter, crescent buttplate, and buttplate trapdoor.  The balance of the metal parts are machined blued steel.  The buttstock and forearm are nice straight grained American walnut.  Checkered hammer spur.  There is even a neat functional three piece cleaning rod in the trap in the buttstock.  The serial number, 59, is stamped into the bottom of the frame just behind the trigger.  The Weston markings are light, and are stamped into the lower tang just behind the lever latch.  The top of the barrel engracved with the proper Winchester barrel address.  Typical catbine two leaf flip rear  sight.  There are a few scattered minor handling marks and a rub mark on the magazine tube on the left side about 1 1/8" forward of the forearm tip.  I'd call it 96% overall.  This item must be sent to a FFL licensed dealer and is considered a handgun.  May not be legal to own in some states with stupid anti gun laws.  If you live in one of those states, move!  This exact piece pictured on the cover of the Fall 1975 Abercrombie & Fitch catalog and offered for sale for $6,000.00!!!!! !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
