Thanks to Danny’s connections in the Zone as well as to Clockwork, Jazz quickly becomes known as a purveyor of not only modern firearms but also antique firearms.

Jazz swiftly becomes very popular in the historically accurate LARPing communities. She even has period accurate ammo.

Not only that but thanks to her Fenton genes she is a pro at customization, and the creation of specialized non-lethal ammo. Her Fenton Foamer bullets are particularly popular.

Jazz still puts her psychoanalyzing to good use, and refuses to sell to those who don’t pass her vibe check or her gun safety course.

Jazz has gotten far better in aim and weaponry over the years. She never expected to get into gun collecting but here she is, opening a gun store in the heart of Gotham. If you ask politely, she might just let you peruse her special collection in the back. It’s chalk full of Fenton weaponry and her own custom builds. It’s stuff that an ATF auditor would take one look at and shut down her entire store without a second thought. Lucky for Jazz, the local rogues gallery has long since scared the ATF from stepping foot in Gotham.

Perrin Mle 1855 -1st Type- presentation revolver

Designed and manufactured in Paris, France by Louis Perrin. Double-action only revolver due to a spurless hammer, chambered for the early centerfire round 11mm Perrin. This specific piece was highly embellished with embossing, gold foil, an ebony grip reminiscent of antique firelock pistols and an extended barrel flaring at the tip like a cannon. It was made to be presented at the 1855 World Fair or Exposition Universelle in Paris to Napoléon the IIIrd, emperor of the French.
