A nice piece of workmanship, though I'm not sure about the pistol as I don't recall Peter Cushing ever managing to despatch the Count with something so ordinary.

Though the box, and the various contents, may be 19th century, it's pretty certain they didn't all end up together until really very recently. There's no record of such kits until the 1980s. And though there's no mention of silver bullets in the news article, the pistols suggest a few will be included, but the silver bullet treatment for vampires isn't recorded until 1927 and only makes it into the mainstream of popular vampire lore in a 1970s Peter Cushing film.

I thought silver bullets were a Werewolf thing and that silver will only burn a vampire.

Apparently in real life, iron rods were used, not wooden stakes.

Gareth, as ever, your detailed knowledge of obsure matters amazes me!
