An interesting pocket pistol
A customer brought in a small pocket pistol tonight.
It is a six shot revolver.
The frame is chrome.
The barrel and cylinder are black.
The grips are white plastic and have a block letter B in quotes. The quotes are placed strangely around the B with the left on to the lower left of the B and the right one to the upper right of it.
It is chambered in what appears to be .22 short.
It loads through a gate and there is a guide for the ejector in front of the chamber that indexes to the gate. Apparently, it had an external ejector.
It is in very fine condition with a positive lockup and nearly no wear on the bolt indentations on the cylinder. The chrome is perfect and the black/blue areas are rust free. There are no identifying markings on it. The serial number is on the bottom of the butt. If I had to guess, I would think this was made in the early part of the 20th century, maybe the thirties.
Anyone have any guesses on this one?
