I bought this little pin fire pistol along with a James Ray Savannah blob top bottle and a 1930s Savannah transit token at a small shop in Thomasville, Georgia. yesterday. I don't know much about the pistol and was hoping someone here could tell me more about it. Best bore measurement I can get with my calipers is about 7-8mm. It has a 3.75" barrel and the 6 shot cylinder is 1" long.On the right side of the pistol, in front of the cylinder is a small hole with a retaining screw in one end, possibly for a cartridge case ejector. But, I have heard that some of these guns were set up with a small bayonet. I can find no markings on the gun other than scroll work designs. The trigger folds up against the frame and that is all I know about it.

This is probably a .30 or .32 cal, but I haven't identified the proof mark as yet. I suspect it may be this pistol identified here:

Although the one shown on this site is 9mm, yours may be just a different caliber of the same model.

What a cool relic. Looks like it would still fire. WD

Thanks for the replies. I wish I could find an original ejector rod for it.

I like that piece. If you missed with the bullet you could use that thing as a club! It must weigh a few pounds.
