Locket-like Pistol Tinder-box (length 1 3/4 in) in frosted brass; on top, a large tree in relief, bearing small flowers and fruit, in silver inlaid, with a falcon in silver perched on the stem.[Nos 1140-1160 'all belong to an exceedingly well-marked form of the tinder-pistol which is confined entirely to Japan. Externally, most of them bear no resemblance ... to a pistol, ... the mechanism being enclosed in a locket-like box... The locket-case is always of metal ... Inside the box is the pistol action'.]
