Preternatural Pragmatism: In Brief

As of late, I've been digging on

19th Century vampire 'killing kits'

& among the most rare:

an antique ivory vampire killing kit

"consisting of an ornate ivory-mounted Christian cross integrating a steel, spring-loaded,

.41 caliber single-shot percussion pistol, the center mounted with an ebony shield

surmounted with a 8-pointed crown, the tips made from tiny semi-precious red stones.

A ruby red five-pointed star adorns the center…"

"The vampire pistol is contained in an ivory case, together with steel dagger blade which attaches

to the end of the cross, an ivory cleaning rod, ivory powder bottle, and cap and ball supply."

However, in my hunting/haunting around the web, I also came across

their contemporary counterparts…though for slaughter?

None intended.
