From old memoirs, there were records saying that capable blacksmith could make "a bunch of revolvers and broomhandles in two months". Neither was simple gun to make..... by whom? blacksmith using hand tools?? and, the volume was "a bunch of them in two months"?? How could that be possible.....

Finally, I figured those revolvers and broomhandles were crude single-shot, not automatic. Very remotely had the appearance of revolver or Mauser.

Recent years, there were some police captured PPK-like blowback pistols. I saw those on another forum. Much better made, all have rifled barrels, one instance even had safety (not sure it's decoration or not), but the appearance still cannot compare with those Pakistan made ones.
