Not mine! I just think they are purty or may be 'purdy' even, if they are they probably cost as much as a small mansion to own |

The CIA Deer Gun, During World War II the Office of Strategic Services introduced the FP-45 Liberator. A single shot breechloading pistol in .45 acp, the FP-45 Liberator was a super cheap stamped metal pistol produced for partisan forces in Europe. The usefulness of the FP-45 Liberator was questionable but at least 1 million were produced. Two decades later the successor to the OSS, the Central Intelligence Agency, tried to revive the idea during the Vietnam War. In 1964 the CIA introduced a strange weapon called the “Deer Gun” which was intended to arm anti-communist guerrillas in Vietnam. Made from cast aluminum, the strange “CIA Deer Gun” was a single shot pistol in 9mm. To load the user unscrewed the barrel and inserted a cartridge, then screwed the barrel back into place. To cock the gun the user pullet back on the plastic knob at the rear. As a safety, a small plastic piece attached to the knob to prevent firing. This piece would have been removed when the pistol was ready for firing. The CIA Deer Gun came included with three 9mm cartridges, a set of directions, and a detachable plastic sight. Altogether cost of the CIA Deer Gun ran at $3.95 per pistol (about $30 today). Around 1,000 were produced, of which 150 were issued. Like the FP-45, the CIA Deer Gun was not made for pitched combat or gunbattles. Instead the CIA Deer Gun was a gun used to get another gun. In other words the user would use the pistol to assassinate an enemy, discard the pistol, then commandeer the enemy’s weapon. Unfortunately the pistol was deemed impractical for use in Vietnam. Those that had not been issued were destroyed and of the 150 issued only 20-25 remain. The pistol pictured above has an estimated value of $18,000 - $27,500. www.peashooter85.com/post/87155393337/the-cia-deer-gun-during-world-war-ii-the-office |

A rare French walking cane with hidden pepperbox revolver and dagger. Presented to George Soule by the staff of the Alhambra in 1893. George Soule was the player manager of the Alhambra music hall in Porter street, Hull. The Alhambra, originally built as a chapel, was a richly ornamented theatre with high with balconies and a capacity of 4,000. It was later know as the Hippodrome and was destroyed by German bombs in 1941. www.peashooter85.com/post/86640822694/a-rare-french-walking-cane-with-hidden-pepperbox |
