Apaches were also a danger because they carried those easily-concealable folding pistols that, while laughable when faced with a real weapon, nonetheless trumped the "nothing" that was all most law-abiding citizens were allowed to carry. |

Very odd piece. Don't imagine it will go into general production anytime soon.

I wouldn't even call that a dagger. Looks more like an ice pick!

Re: Apache Knuckle Duster Revolver and Knife Pistol
Oh sorry! The first two photos didn't load the first time. If you only look at the third photo, it looks like an ice pick! Obviously not in the first two!
Crap, now even more photos loaded. Let me try again. The first time I could only see the very bottom picture!! Hey, how did you get multiple views of something at the J.M. Davis? I've never seen them open up a case or anything! That's only 25 miles from me and I was there maybe a month or two ago.... Gregg |

Is that the original multi purpose tool?
