Welrod MKII

Welrods are well known British production silenced pistols originally produced for the SOE. Originals were made in both .32 and 9mm. The grips were basically a rubber boot around the magazine itself. They were made by BSA, (Birmingham Small Arms, the same people who produced motorcycles). They were turning bolt action, single shot and had ported barrels to aid in suppression. Originals are very rare. I've had the priviledge of firing a 9mm example in a private collection. There are no identifying marks on it. Someone made copies some years ago and these are the ones usually encountered.

I was surprised to see an assasin using one on a recent episode of "Person of Interest".
