Developed under the pretense of being a 45 caliber flare pistol, the FP-45 was a cost-effective way to put a 45 ACP bullet in a Nazi's kidney. Manufactured from sheet metal stampings spot-welded around a smoothbore barrel, the Liberator was destroyed en-masse after the War leaving few survivors. Four-hole model with a zinc cocking knob, hollow grip and sliding cover. A pair of circled "F" stamps are present on the upper right side of the chamber. These are found on a limited number of Liberators. The exact purpose of the "F" is unknown, but they are believed to be inspectors marks.

Excellent plus with 98% plus original phosphate/parkerized finish overall with some extremely mild scuffs. Mechanically excellent. If you want to own one of these, here it is!
