Prototype Handgun, combination of semi-automatic pistol with revolver.  Cal. 45, 5½" barrel, finish in the white, smooth wooden grips, gas operated rotary magazine, self-loading  single- and double-action . Extremely interesting as design and construction by an unknown, but knowledgeable craftsman. The only specimen my friends and I have seen. THIS one is pictured in a 1930's catalog WORLD'S GUNS, an advertisement by Golden State, page 192.   $3,500.
