Jarre 10 shot harmonica pistol, caliber 7mm pin fire, It is with a swivel to swing around for loading, and it has a screw-into the back strap ejector. The number on the frame is 37, the harmonica shows 47. My observation is, that those number never match but are a few apart. There are traces of nickel plaiting, plain wooden grips, perfect function. The condition of the rare pistol is fine.        $12,000.

JARRE Bte. SGDG, Støckel: "J. Jarre received 1859-1862 various patents for harmonica pistols, 28 bd Poissonnière, Paris." A very rare eight-shot-harmonica-magazine-pistol. Unlike the other variations this has a 4½" barrel with inscribed name. The serial # 195 is under the barrel and on the harmonica. The cal. 9mm pin fire. As fashionable at the time the iron parts kept in the white. Blackstrap, barrel lug and butt cap engraved, plain ebony grips. The extended trigger is to move the harmonica and cock the hammer. The pistol is in overall fine condition. It is rare because it is the first I own.    $12,500.
