The Le Petit Protector ring pistol, often mistaken for a 19th-century antique, is revealed to be a modern 20th-century production designed to mimic older French designs.

Evidence suggests it's a modern replica due to English spelling, inconsistent cases, and its absence from key historical firearm texts.
