It was with a fly whisk that Hussein Dey, the regent of Algiers during the Ottoman Empire,
struck the consul of France in 1827,
which served as a pretext to the French Minister of War to launch the invasion of Algeria in 1830.

for sure, not a weapon by itself
but by destination ... massive destruction weapon

not to let your fly whisk alone ... here mine,
from Egypt, it belonged to a Pasha who was the last Interior Minister during the monarchy of King Farouk
- handle in ivory, and Arabic horse tail

all the best
