Description:

Produced circa 1942-1945 as a "cheap" weapon to air drop en-masse in occupied territories and used against the Axis forces. Though made with organized resistance forces in mind, drop plans included random distribution to encourage disgruntled citizens to lash out against their oppressor. This is a two hole model, sheet metal construction with zinc cocking knob, hollow grip and sliding cover. A swastika has been scratched into the left side of the frame by an unknown party.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The frame and barrel show a mixed brown and gray patina, with scattered spotting and a few mild scuffs. The cocking knob shows moderate flaking. Mechanically excellent.
