The nifty weapon unfolded and laid out.
It looks like the perfect present for the Kray twins or Al Capone.
This all-in-one pistol, knuckle duster and flick knife that must surely be one of the world's most lethal weapons has been discovered in a sock drawer.
The Victorian instrument was made in the late 19th century and sold to members of the public as the ultimate self-defence tool.
When unfolded, the four inch long item consisted of a knuckle duster which could have been used to unleash a savage blow to an attacker.
Alternatively the four circular holes doubled as a handle for either the revolver or knife.
The item is coming up for auction at Hartleys of Ilkley, West Yorks.
