Very Rare .32 cal. Mouse/Dog Percussion PistolMade in 1835, this is a rare muzzleloading percussion pistol featuring a dog chasing a mouse decorative motiff. I don’t know why it doesn't have a cat chasing a mouse or a dog chasing a cat, but it is what it is. The handle of the gun is made of molded rubber with the image of a dog. The mouse is engraved on the metal, with its head being the hammer and its tail being the trigger. The gun was cocked by pulling on the rod beneath the barrel. A cleaning rod and ram rod was stored in the butt of the handle. -- source link
