That looks like the results after somebody lets J.J. have some screwdrivers.

The picture is after I reassembled it. <br />

Pin fire revolver for close in work with the brass knuckles and dagger. Fold the trigger down and you're ready to go. Caliber? I'm guessing 30ish +-.<br />

I'm pretty sure this is a french street weapon from around the turn of the century. I'll check my firearms library to see if I can come up with more info. I M Portly.

The French did NOT run off the Nazis. My Dad and a lot of his friends took care of that. <br />

Sarcasm, my friend, sarcasm. The French couldn't run off a stray dog.

I beg to differ with you sir! They would be able to drive the stray animal away to the distance that they could throw croissants in whatever direction they wished to "drive" the animal. <br />
<br />
They will however be made of much sterner stuff in the near future as I believe that within the next five to six years they figure that their immigration policies will have the majority of that country's population as MUSLUM.

Putting on my tin foil hat for a moment I believe that if you want to visit those fine old churches in the south of France you now have a better chance of visiting a mosque as they now out number them. Or so I'm let to believe.

Now, now, don't forget, we wouldn't be the country that we are without the French's help way back when.

The operative part of your post is "way back when."<br />
<br />
Lest you forget, they would be speaking German if we didn't get involved more recently. Think that more than pays them back and not to mention they did not pay back their war debt from the last one. <br />
<br />
Best thing you can do get the U.S. involved in a war; we rebuild your country after it's over regardless as to whether you were the enemy or an ally.

Remember the comedy "The Mouse That Roared"?<br />
<br />
Same premise about a small country declaring war on the U.S. and then trying to reap the benefits of a loser except, I believe that they had the small country winning.<br />
<br />
Am I showing my age? I think that movie came out sometime in the late 50's-early 60's.<br />
When you get to those decades my memory does not serve me too well.
