trying to identify a couple of pistols
- Thread starter johnsks
- Start date
the first gun looks to be a belgian percussion pistol. If so it should have an oval with *ELG in it on each barrel.
the second gun looks suspiciously like a Moore teat fire pistol but can't tell from the photos. Teat fire guns loaded from the front of the cylinder and had a small flat teat that stuck through a hole in the back of the cylinder. They look like a percussion pistol with no nipples. If the gun appears to load from the rear, it is probably a rimfire. Either way there should be a makers name on the top of the barrel

There, fixed it for ya... sounds more fear mongering to the average Torontonian this way!
Seriously though, the first gun looks like a Belgian percussion pistol and the other... no idea.
You're missing a pre-fix.
Those are clearly easily concealable urban sub-machine assault weapons.
Ahh... I stand corrected! It should also be added that these types of "easily concealable urban sub-machine assault weapons" are most often used by these so-called "gun collectors" to terrorize innocent and exclusively female victims throughout this great country of ours. It would therefore be only appropriate to hold another pro-feminist vigil in the light of the OP's disturbing pictures of these oppressive tools which are purpose-built for mass-victimization of women at large. Proper victimization techniques are even included in the instructions manuals that these "easily concealable urban sub-machine assault weapons" come with... from the evil gun lobby companies/manufacturers, circa early 1500's!
Shame on you, Gunnutz! (and to all the female Gunnutz/gun owners: you simply don't exist because we, the Left, say you don't).
Tada! The CBC's left wing propaganda strikes again!
(ok... back to the thread topic now!)
I have the same gun too. It's a .32 cal teat-fire front loader. Moore's patent. The names are struck very lightly, top of barrel, and says Williamson around the cylinder. Made 1864 -1870.The one I have is a nickle finish. Nice little guns.
