One of the more well known knife pistol makers, Unwin & Rodgers entered the field during the percussion era and continued releasing models in the cartridge era. A set of folding blades, 3" and 2" long, run along the fold up trigger, with the makers markings on the left side of the ricasso on each and the etched marking "SELF PROTECTOR" on the left side of the 3" blade with an eagle design. The octagon barrel is solid German silver, set atop the knife portion with a silver bead front sight, a pair of Birmingham proofs on the upper left flat and the percussion nipple set in an "in-line" configuration, with a smooth niter blue hammer. The overall frame is constructed from iron, silver and silver finished brass, with near total coverage from a pair of smooth black and white horn grip panels, with a storage compartment in the butt and cutout segments in the grips for a bullet mold and tweezers, tweezers included, mold absent.
