Holy shit, I just realised. This isn't a gun with a knife and corkscrew attached. This is actually a pocket knife that has a gun attachment as a bonus gimmick. The corkscrew makes perfect sense, in that case. It's not primarily a self-defense weapon or a fighting dagger or anything, it's a utility tool that you can shoot someone with. The paneling, the corkscrew, it's all extremely classic as a French gentleman's knife, it just happens to be a gun as well. I'm speechless.

I'm french, the corkscrew part (the trigger on that gun) would be called a "tire-bouchon" which literally translate to "pull-corks". The knife part only is what would be called a "baïonnette" indeed (that's how french spells it ;)

Of all the goofy French quirks, I think what I love the most about this is its literally a miniaturized bolt action rifle. So cool just for that alone. The wine cork trigger and knife are just icing.

hi Ian. This gun-knife would have come from the shop of a silversmith named Tinnenbrock . They specialised in inexpensive English silverware, particularly tableware. They also repaired silver-plated objects and sold silver-plating and polishing compounds. This association with cutlery might explain the quality of the blade, as well as the style of the handle. Sometime between 1864 and 1870 the business was taken over by Berthod. Unsure yet exactly when or under what circumstances.

Bonus points for needing to use the corkscrew on some weird puzzle involving an old wine bottle.

most Swiss army knives also don't come with storage compartments.

Cool video Ian, but the fact that the blade is under spring tension, and the notch on the heel of the blade tells with absolute certainty that this is an automatic knife, i.e. switchblade. I see no apparent mechanism, so the bolster might be the actual lever both to snap the blade open, and to close it. It used to be a common mechanism back in the days. You see the pin in the wider section of the bolster? It engages the blade notch and rests on the spring, so if you grab it like a switchblade, barrel facing outward and corkscrew inside the palm, and pinch both bolsters between your thumb and index finger, and in this grip bring the bolster back, it should deploy the blade. If this doesn't work, and it might not, try fiddling with it a bit more, it is absolutely certain that it does have a mechanism to switch the blade open.

There are examples of these knife/gun combinations with corkscrew triggers in the Collection at Sheffield Museums, UK. And, incidentally, the Passage Jouffroy is a French example of what us Brits call a "Shopping Arcade" : there are great Victorian examples with steel and glass roofs in many of our cites (Manchester, London, Liverpool, Edinburgh etc) , but the best preserved one is considered to be in Leeds just a few mins walk from the Royal Armouries ( ask the locals for directions when you're next there)

*brings a gun to a knife fight at a wine tasting...

Ah that quaint tradition of mating a gun to an everyday object like a pocket knife, keys, a cane, books, cutlery, locks etc ... It's not so much an indicator of the safety/risk of the period, as an indicator of the willingness of manufacturers to offer the latest in "vital self-defense capability" Given that the majority of these weapons were more likely to annoy than to serious injure they pretty much rank in the gadget area. But they are so incredibly diverse and often quite clever that it's a pleasure to behold.

have to twist the thing in a circle to open wine, and therefore muzzle sweep entire party

If you don't consider this to be a weapon but a fancy everyday-carry multitool for a gentleman this is actually quite impressive thing. You have a corkscrew to open the wine, knife for variety of tasks (including stabbing your ex-sweetheart new lover) and little gun to impress your fellow gentlemen or shoot a thug in a dark alley. This would make great b-day gift back in the time.

Two things that impress me about this video 1) I totally mistook the scale of the gun from the picture (I thought it was full size) and 2) Ian not laughing when he said “it’s not designed for long range shooting” as he pulled a corkscrew trigger

Gorgeous piece.

I just received a cablegram, the Japanese military attache in Paris commissioned the construction of this item. It seems there was a short American fellow causing all manner of trouble back home and this was going to be just the ticket to take care of him when the attache returned to Japan, with a few cases of wine of course.

That thing is beautiful. Really cool...thanks.

Valve: thx for the idea dude

I can imagine a Frenchman trying to kill him self with this weapon, and the newspaper read, man found in ally took several days to dye from self inflicted small caliber wound, combined with attempts to cut his own wrist, finally having seen enough he gouged his own eyes out unusually with a cork screw contained in the same weapon.

French bottle opening safety 101: Make sure your corkscrew is unloaded and sheathed before using.
