OK, let's get some opinions on what this is. First to get the right answer wins a free 6-inch snowfall in January. Second place is a 12-inch snowfall.<br />

    Well Denny I do believe that there is a Hubbard whip pistol. I think it's a 50 cal too looks like fun.<br />

    I don't know about you, Mike. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were reading my mind - what little there is left. But it was .52 caliber (you were .02 off there!). They say:<br />
    <br />
    .52 caliber, 9 1/2-inch braided leather-covered barrel with brass frame and underhammer action. Folding trigger. Brass escutcheon on grip with coat-of-arms and legend: Day's Patent/P. Hubbard 26 Newgate St. Gun with braided whip attached, measuring 136 inches. One-piece walnut grip.

    Many good closeup photos here.<br />

    PS - You win the 6-inch snowfall! It will be delivered to your driveway shortly.

    Well Denny, sometimes when I'm on the couch with the wife and she's watching something I don't like I'll get out one of my big books. Last night I was reading "The Encyclopedia of Modern Weaponry" for the millionth time. The Hubbard was in there. Funny thing you would ask the question the next day. <br />
    Regards,<br />

    Would this be the origin of the term, "pistol whipped"?

    Damn Mike, you must have had to think about that one. It took you a whole nine minutes to come up with the right answer. Gonna have to work on that!<br />

    I suppose that if someone were to check out how frequently I log in to this sight they'd find I check it A LOT for new messages. Not to mention when I check from school on my lunch break in the computer lab. You never know when something important will pop. Or the occasional Pop Quiz.<br />

    OK, Mike, is this in your book?<br />

    Well.... judging by the fact that those cans have pull tabs on them instead of Pop-tops , I'd say we have an antique, non-alcoholic non-operational total waste of time! It it don't go bang it ain't no fun!!<br />
    Regards,<br />
