Underhammer Pistol Gun - Knuckles - Dagger
HistoryPistols.ru has already written about the Apache revolver combined with brass knuckles and dagger. Weapon which will be discussed in today's article is very similar to him. Perhaps it was “Apache” that became the prototype for the construction of a single-shot underhammer - brass knuckles - dagger.
On the Rock Island Auction site (Rock Island Auction Company) about the underhammer gun - brass knuckles - the dagger says not much. Year of manufacture and manufacturer of weapons is not known. The approximate auction price is about 6500 $ - 9500 $.
Structurally, the weapon consists of a single-shot underhammer pistol capsule, brass knuckles and a dagger with a curved blade. The mainspring is placed under the octagonal barrel and bolted to it with a screw at the muzzle. To the spring is attached to the trigger, made in the form of a cylinder with a notch on the side surfaces. Brandtrubka probably placed above the trigger. The trigger is hinged at the base of the pistol frame. The trigger folds forward in the stowed position. In the upper part of the trunk is the front sight in the form of a ball. The dagger blade has a triangular cross section and a total length of 67 mm. The blade is narrow and curved (the so-called Flamberge-style) to increase efficiency when striking. The blade is hinged on the left side of the trunk and can be brought into the combat position as with the folded and unfolded position of the brass knuckles.
The base of the brass knuckles is the handle when holding the weapon. The brass knuckles are made of brass and have four oval holes for placing fingers in it. The brass knuckles are connected to the shooting part by the hinge method. In the “martial” position, the position of the knuckle-handle is fixed. The fixing button is located on the left side, on the right side there is a horseshoe-shaped spring of the fixation mechanism.
Under the swivel on the left, the serial number “219” is visible.
In the upper part, in the breech area, there is a letter text. The top line contains the inscription "THE SURE" (English sure), on the bottom line "DEFENDER" (English defender). Not quite clear the meaning of the inscription. Perhaps the manufacturer wanted to write something like the slogan of the owner of the weapon "Confidence and Protection", it is possible to mention his appointment "Of course Protection".
The serial number "219" is also applied on the front side of the brass knuckles under the swivel.
The underhammer barrel has a length of 51 mm. Bore caliber - 32. The weapon involves muzzle loading. Cocking the spring occurs when the trigger pull down. Simultaneously, the trigger engages with the sear. After installing the cap on the brandtrubku can produce a shot. The effectiveness of a single pistol is not very high, but in combination with the combat capabilities of a dagger and brass knuckles, this combined weapon becomes a compact and effective means of self-defense. One type of weapon can force the robber to refuse to attack a person who has this brass gun at his side.
