Re: Koppelschlosspistole
You open the buckle up and a barrel comes out and hopefully by that time some soldier with an MP/40 hasn't blown you to pieces!!It is a protection small arms pistol but i will take the Schmisser every time.Carl

Re: Koppelschlosspistole
Now now Tom, take a chill pill.
The belt buckle pistol was designed by Louis Marquis shortly after WWI, he later patented the design and was asked by Heinrich Himmler to produce some prototypes. It is thought that around 12 were produced in .22 calibre, and of the few surviving originals, ALL are stamped with single number production marks. An original example sold several years back for $15,000.
Due to the extreme rarity of this type of firearm, it was heavily copied or 'cloned' in the 1950's and 60's in German machine shops in other calibres and with various buckle types including SS, Luftwaffe and Heer (Guns mit uns??). The lack of any markings on the above example unfortunately condemn this as one of these besides the poor buckle finish. All the same, it is still an interesting piece to own, though not worth a great deal.
BTW Tom, the buckle gun was designed to hit wherever the wearer pointed his body, the cartridges could be fired singularly or all at once, and whilst wearing handcuffs!.
At a range of 6 feet or less, "how the hell" would you feel as four .22 bullets similtaneously blasted into your guts? Not too good's my betting....
Regards, Ned.

Re: Koppelschlosspistole
TD, whether or not they made these who knows, the example shown is a made up piece whether copy of an original or not, just look at the front of the buckle, the eagle is found on copies of fantasy SS buckles.
