knuckle dusters

[rgbai]

I believe antique knuckle duster pistols are considered prohibited because
there considered brass knuckles.
anyone know if the James Reid knuckle duster is considered brass knuckles
or not there more like a brass ring.
anyone else have one?

That falls into the black hole of canadian law clause.


I would say try to get in touch with the verifiers. If you can get a letter for it, you'll be a lot better off, since it's certainly a grey area.

This thing is a .22 cal seven shooter. Registered as prohib. A .32 rf is an antique, nothing worse. Just a wierd little gun. But makes me feel like a giant.

How could that be considered 'brass knuckles'? Any hand gun could be held in the hand to similar effect as is the one in the link/photo above.

God forbid my wife ever gets the diamond ring she deserves cause it would make a heck of alot more effective a knuckle enhancer then that thing and I 'd hate to think she 'd get taken away on a prohib charge because of it!


I had a chance to handle one like yours old iron and yep they are a nasty piece of work! Got gangarene and slow death written all over em! Knowing there were a few thousand of those on the street back in the day would have kept people pretty polite and disinterested in starting trouble for no cause.
