Baby Dog
Here is a very
curious five-shot sliding-action pistol, marked Baby Dog on the grips. We also
see initials: GM, or CM, or CW from Carl Walther to Zella Mehlis? A Spanish
production is also possible.
It bears a (small)
resemblance to the CS Shattuck Unique, but with a sliding action, like the
Reform pistols.
Our research has
so far been unsuccessful in learning more about this rather strange and
certainly very rare machine, almost certainly manufactured in the early 20th
century (as a reminder, the 6.35 cartridge was created in 1905).
The "quality" of
the photos does not allow us to distinguish the presence of possible hallmarks,
markings, or numbers.
