You know how...OK, I'll answer my own question.<br /><br />You know how I enjoy a good puzzle.<br /><br />It is <i>not</i> a Webley. It's a Russian Nagant, probably model of 1895, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagant_M1895) (http://world.guns.ru/handguns/NAGANT.JPG).<br /><br />I knew it didn't appear American, inasmuch as it wasn't a six-shooter(evidenced by three visible cylinder flutes), the odd cylinder advancing system, and the clunky hammer (no flare or crown on the top surface).an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34767060.post-33594274013400349842010-01-11T13:51:27.493-06:002010-01-11T13:51:27.493-06:00Is that a Webley revolver?Is that a Webley revolver?an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34767060.post-64781461320523289382010-01-10T22:04:14.005-06:002010-01-10T22:04:14.005-06:00Used to be a product for bird hunters that clipped...Used to be a product for bird hunters that clipped to your belt and formed a shelf or pocket to distribute the load of carrying your shotgun during long treks afield, as in quail or pheasant hunting.<br /><br />In an abject marketing failure, it was named "The Butt Buddy", since you rested the butt of your gun in it.<br /><br />I can just imagine a guy gettin' his gear together in camp in the morning, before first light, "Yo, anyone seen my Butt Buddy?"<br /><br />Maybe a model number would've worked better...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34767060.post-77955819243131112902010-01-10T21:39:07.067-06:002010-01-10T21:39:07.067-06:00Hey, maybe me and slabsides with my Mohawk can han...Hey, maybe me and slabsides with my Mohawk can hang out with you and your mudfence, huh?<br /><br />I was gonna upbraid you about Chicago Pianos and tell you it was actually Typewriters (a reference to an early, movable type, machine, in use before your time, using a keyboard).<br /><br />But then I checked and found out both terms were used to describe the firearm, designed by John Taliaferro Thompson, and favored by mobsters and lawmen alike.an Donalbanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418506325893352676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34767060.post-87375239959094185162010-01-10T17:08:05.741-06:002010-01-10T17:08:05.741-06:00Um, I got hoglegs, black and red hawks and labels,...Um, I got hoglegs, black and red hawks and labels, a humpback (but not the one you're thinking of) and a Back-Up, and a Rolling Block.
