This is an example of a pinfire pistol and is a #5 key that I use when I wear my 18 size E. Howard Co. key wind & set watch.
This is one of my favorite chain style fobs to wear.
I also have several 2mm pinfire pistol fobs, miniture watch charm pistols, Berloque, Breloque (several names for these), that I will also show.
