Silk Pistol. Hamburg, Janos Bartl, ca. 1924. A handkerchief, draped over the barrel of this small imitation pistol, vanishes when the magician squeezes the trigger. Elaborate spring-driven mechanism and moveable arm have been added to this Gilling 112 cap pistol to effect the vanish. Barrel measures 4 ½" long. Paint shows some wear, but overall good condition.
