The Philippines back in the 70's when I was a swabbie. Fortunately, our bags weren't checked very carefully. I picked up another one, half of one anyway, from a man in SLC in the early 80's who was in poor health and liquidating a lot of his personal firearms - a lot of real oddball stuff. His name, George Hyde, didn't mean much to me at the time, but it turns out George Hyde was one of the original designers of the Liberator and this particular pistol turned out to be one of two cut downs that were used at the factory to show military liaisons and plant workers how the thing was assembled and worked. A collector in Iowa made me an offer I couldn't refuse, and it's now in his collection.
