Description:
French “VELO DOG” Revolver C&R POCKET PISTOL GOLD MOTHER OF PEARL

“REVOLVER de POCHE” Made for Cyclists Against Mean Dogs!

Here we present a C&R French “Velo Dog” Folding Trigger Revolver made circa the early 1900s. In the late 19th and early 20th century. The Velodog, also known as a “Revolver de Poche, was a French design by Charles-François Galand specifically made for carry by cyclists to defend themselves against dogs. In fact, the name “Velodog” combines the word “Velocipede” with “Dog”, which is quite interesting. It was copied & produced all over Europe into the beginning of the 20th Century. It features a small size, a smooth external hammer, gold inlay, and folding trigger.

Another feature on many models of Velo-Dogs is the lack of a trigger guard, and a trigger that folds into the body of the weapon when not in use. For the more humane, there were cartridges loaded with cayenne pepper or dust, or which had bullets made from wax, wood or cork.

The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish with gold flourishes on the chambers of the cylinder. Solid mother of pearl grips. The action is strong. The bore is in good condition with nice rifling. A handsome little personal defense revolver!
