This jewelry box and prop pistol combo was a gift based on the anime Full Metal Alchemist. In the show there's a character, Hawkeye, who's known for her firearms marksmanship skill and also for saving her commander's butt on multiple occasions.
I thought it would be fun to explore what an every-day item would be that this character might use. The result is both a cosplay prop as well as a useful piece of daily storage.
