I bought it in Switzerland back in 1990 and it is great fun but I have run out of ammo and flares. I have been trying to work out where you can purchase them. Does anyone know?

It has been fired, it appears. It does have bullets in a red box, etc. and in a storage box, by xythos. I am interested in selling it, and going to a web site auction, called USASold.com in N.C. Any info I can get for this let me know. Thanks. Richard I have one of the gold guns like this from Austria. It has been fired, it appears.

I too have a small gun like this that belonged to my Great-Grandmother--according to her, it was given to her in the 1920s by a young farm-hand who had been orphaned during the first world war and sent to Canada--he told her that they were worn around the necks of some women in Europe as a means of extra protection if they needed to fight off any "unwanted advances"--supposedly if you aimed correctly you could blind your attacker, or, if you hit their temple, kill them. This was the story I always knew, and although one antique dealer I spoke with agreed, another said it would be impossible for such a small gun to fire and that it is just a watch fob--if you do have any information on older versions of these guns so I could find out a little more it would be very much appreciated :) Hi!
