The apparatus intended to "practice the eye and hand for your fatherland". A 5-penny piece serves as ammunition for the pistol. A hit triggerd a dry battery and the "Ding" told the barman to pay the price of "wine, beer, cognac or 2 cigars" to the lucky shooter. The coin box held a Greek coin from 1964 as evidence of an attempted fraud!
