Lead Shaver or Suicide Special


This writer has taken up a new hobby of collecting small pocket pistols of obsolete calibres of European and US origin. The fun part for me is to restore to working condition these small firearms. To bring back to life a pistol some 134 years old gives me great pleasure and a challenge of my skills. To make a part that is missing and then to have it perform like the original is very satisfying. I hope you will enjoy the short article.

Some images for you to view.


The Defender 89 which is described in the article. Images show 5 dummy cartridges which are .32 CF. If anyone has some inert .32RF cartridges they could spare or sell. Then please contact me.


This is a little beauty! - A Belgian 5 shot .320" calibre revolver, can easily be hid in your palm.


Another Belgian revolver - this time a near perfect copy of a Smith & Wesson top break self ejecting revolver.
