You are bidding on a unique little keychain? in the shape of a derringer gun. It has a working hammer and trigger. The metal is silver, the barrell is most likely steel? The stock lookes more like maybe some sort of silver (probably not sterling content) and has filigree on it .The attached chain appears to be solid gold but I am not sure as I have not had it tested, but when I cleaned it , I examined it with a magnifying glass and t are no worn areas like plated metal gets, and the chain has that nice buttery color. T is no mark to indicate what metal it is made of. The only mark on it is the word "Austria" on the top of the barrell. The jump ring that holds the chain on is separated and it looks loke someone bent the end tighter to hold it on, but the remainder is still hanging t This piece was destined for a dumpster,but I rescued it alond with hundreds of other pieces of jewelry and collectibles out of a huge tangle, I found some really neat stuff! I will be listing a few of the other finds in the next few days , check them out. Good luck bidding!
