Blades and Barrels or "cut 'n shoot"

BLADES AND BARRELS
This is the complete reference on the history of combination weapons over the
past six centuries. The inside jacket reads "Blades and Barrels is the first
full scale study ever written about man's attempt to combine an edged weapon
with a firearm. Tracing the development of combination weapons from the hand
cannon through the center fire ignition systems, this book fills a long
recognized gap in firearms literature."
The book covers knife pistols, cutlass
pistols, mace pistols, axe pistols and war hammer pistols. In depth studies of
companies such as Unwin & Rodgers, Harrington & Richardson, Frank Wesson, Colt,
Boden and Dolne. Contains 400 photographs from private and museum collections,
the author spent over 20 years researching and compiling this information.
Copyright 1972. The book is out of print, a very rare and important reference.
If somebody likes to sell one book, I'm always interested.

3½" swing-out dirk. The handy gun is called
"Apache" after the thugs in Paris, who supposedly carried those. The
cylinder axis can be removed and used as ejector for the shells. Serial # 2225,
all steel variation with fluted cylinder. At the beginning the revolver was
plated, but it is now worn off.
A desirable oddity in "very good" condition.
