A quick search shows that they are found either in PInfire or percussion cap and ball....both types seem expenisve.
Around 4- 5 thousand if found.
Looks like circa 1850's -60's

Though limited they were real. I remember once reading many years ago that one of the southern governors had a collection of them.

Looks like the original 19th century "Femme Fatale" originals are rare and
expensive. There does appear to be at least one manufacturer of a modern
version: minifirearms.com Still not cheap---depends on how bad you want
one I guess.
