Knife-Gun Monday: Sigaud-Barnerias 5mm Pinfire (Ad-free)

Check out Headstamp Publishing's extensive catalog of excellent books: https://www.headstamppublishing.com/home-forgotten Jacques Sigaud-Barnerias ran a business in Theirs, France (in the south, east of Lyon) making a variety of cutlery and associated products. Among his various table knives, pruning knives, corkscrews, and pock knives he also sold some pinfire revolver knives. The revolver element was made under contract by a shop in Liege Belgium, proofed by the Liege proof house, and send to Thiers where Sigaud-Barnerias added his markings (the “SB” in an oval), knife hardware, and side panels. The gun is a 6-shot Lefaucheux style pinfire with a double action only trigger, pretty typical for this type of contraption.

North American Arms has been selling belt buckle revolvers in .22 LR and .22 WMR for a long time. I’m thinking any small handgun like these would be useful if fired into an attacker’s face. I’m thinking they would lose their composure. And this 5 mm is even double action, vs the current micro .22 revolvers in the US being single action.

And if that box starts to act aggressively...
