I didn't know that there was more than ONE example of an automatic-revolver ever produced!

Quite an ingenious design… thanks for sharing David!

Very interesting! No top strap! And a bottom-shooter, like the Rhino.

I don't know if CDNN realizes that the inscription - "The factory label denotes the gold finish and even has "Back to Italy" handwritten on it" - is actually the punch line of a popular joke from decades past...From the Iranian hostage debacle..."Nuke Iran 'til it glows in the dark; bomb Viet Nam back to the stone age; then...Back to Italy!!!"...

That always got a rise out of my Italian buddies...
