Wow, nice example of a 'Khyber Pass Special'. This knock-off shows characteristics of most mid 20th century popular pistols thrown one one heap.

The lettering (with lots of spelling mistakes and some of them upside down) shows that whoever made it knew nothing about western lettering and spelling. The fake ELG Liege proof is nicely done, as is the faked FN marking.

Probably hacked and crafted out of a piece of railroad track in one of the less hospitable regions of the world. That makes it a nice relic.
