Well, it's serial # 10001...Maybe it's the first one he ever did...

Looking at the scale next to it...10 1/2 inches from grip center to the barrel end...My two Brooms measure 12 inches...that's not much of a "scale model"...that's pretty much full-size...

...And why .32 ACP??? That's bigger than 30 caliber...

There's so many little things wrong with it, as opposed to Crottet's painstakingly accurate other models...that I'm inclined to agree with Ron Wood...

But it is still impressive...It's like someone with a good machine tools background made one from an illustrated book...rather than from an actual Broomhandle...
