P. B. marked on blade, probably Swiss made unique combination pistol,  4" part octagonal/part round barrel for a 7mm revolver-cartridge. On the right hand site the knurled  handle pushed-up is to open for loading and in screwed-in position locks the chamber. The hammer is cocked like a single action. The corkscrew pulled-out, acts as the trigger and holds the blade. The panels skillful carved from pearl. In the grip's front-strap is a "trap-door" for a compartment. The 4½" spear-point-blade is tight. There are minor handling marks not avoidable   in a 130 year life span,  otherwise an extremely  decorative oddity built by a first-class craftsman.
