I Wear the Face

I wear the face of a leader of men. My financial worth is small and my
appearance not impressive, yet my presence is a passport to any country
and society. I have the entree alike to the boudoir and the armed; I
penetrate to royal palaces and to the far corners of the earth. In my
youth I am bright and fresh looking; later, my face is marred and
disfigured and I am cast aside as nothing; but when I am very old I am eagerly sought, and a safe refuge is provided for me, where I am exhibited to admiring visitors. What am I?

It was a stormy night when Mr. Death was found dead at Brainteaser Mansion. I, the detective, surveyed the scene as my assistant spoke.
"Mr. Death was hosting a dinner party with his closest confidants. There is no bruising, nor entry or exit wounds, so the cause of death is unknown. I've spoken with each of the four suspects: Sir Stave, Baron Blade, Princess Pentacle and Countess Chalice, who all harbour a potential motive—jealousy, greed, rage, or revenge, and for their safety, they all carry with them constantly a lethal weapon—a revolver, a dagger, poison, and a shotgun. They're in the study, awaiting your arrival."
As I approached the door, I heard a raised voice. I knelt down and pressed my ear against the keyhole to eavesdrop.
"What a rogue's gallery you all are! First, you, who would have murdered him out of sheer revenge. You, who insist you were in the Music Room. Last, we have the wicked schemer, who keeps a revolver hidden in her handbag!"
A woman countered, her voice barely more than a whisper.
"You brute! No one believes your alibi of being outside anyway! Why accuse us ladies when we all know our fellow guest here would be greedy enough to shoot him."
Another woman's voice, frail yet venomous, replied.
"I'm no schemer, but you're vile! Smirking while you clean your fingernails with your dagger! Oh... if I had my handbag right now, I'd...You're lucky I left it in the ga..."
Deciding I'd heard enough, I swung open the study door.
A man stepped forward, his voice confirming him as the only speaker I had not yet heard.
"Oh Detective, you've arrived just in time! You must arrest Countess Chalice. She's just threatened this poor man! She's always been prone to fits of rage!"
"Who might you be?" I asked.
"I am Sir Stave!"
In that moment, drawing on all the evidence I had both seen and heard, I knew with certainty who the killer was, their motive, the weapon used, and their claimed location at the time of the murder.
