Above you may behold a selection of striker-fired, double-stack, vest-pocket-sized semiautomatic pistols that were marketed to tenderfeet
and housewives more than a hundred years ago. I'll have fun learning the ins and outs of this particular field of firearms history!.

Wow, they look great lined up like that.
Do you know if parts are still available? Might make a difference if you find a good deal on a non-functioning piece.

Any gum in the lockwork?
Geez, I am very fond of those little guys, having been introduced to one by my friend Dave. I wanted to trade my jointer for his 1907, but his family ties to it precluded that. So we exchanged dollars and I went on a search for a 1907. Which were then quite reasonable. One thing led to another, as they say, and I am not sure how many I have now, but I still like the workmanship and design of the darned things.
I think Jude Law totes a 1917 in the movie with Tom Hanks "The Road to Perdition"
Nice collection there, that's for sure.
