My husband would wet his pants if I could get this piece, but all I have found are sold or a price tag between $2900 – $5300 Does anyone know where I can get one under $2900 even $2000 better. Thank you so much.

Actually, mate, the item you have pictured was not called an Apache, but was used by the Apache (Ah-Pah-Shay) gangs of the Parisian underworld. The gangs take their name from news stories that noted them to be vicious in combat, comparable to American Apache warriors. The thugs took a shine to the name and adopted it, forming “war bands” that amounted to little more than street gangs.

Greetings from Texas,
I don’t disagree with the facts presented about this weapon getting it’s name from Parisian gangs, but Apache is the only name I have ever known it by. I first saw one of these at the PANHANDLE PLAINS MUSEUM in Canyon Texas with my grandfather. I was six I think and thought it was the neatest gun I had ever seen. That one is still there as of two years ago.
Many years later I not only saw one at COLLECTORS FIREARMS in Houston Texas but was actually able to hold and examine it. I concluded it would make a great pair of brass knucles. The knife was nothing to trust your life to. I think it would have broken off if stuck in someone, even when new. If memory serves me correctly it was a 6mm pinfire. In Texas we call that a mouse gun.
Please don’t misunderstand what I am saying here. It was wonderful to see the beastie, and brought back memories of my grandfather. The $2,600.00 dollar price is the only reason I left the store without it. But if push came to shove I think I would leave it in my pocket and use the 1911 for self defense, even against the mouse!Please rate this comment: 0 1 -

its actually really hard to find this gun. they are rare and most are either no longer existing or have been put into a museum…you really cant find one in a persons house. they are worth way more than 2,600 as of today they are worth about 4 grand. but again your best bet in finding one is to look in antique shops honestly and not only is the gun hard to come by but ammo is just as hard to come by and when you do find it is runs anywhere from 25 to 40 per round.
