Developed in 1942 under the fictional nomenclature "Flare Pistol, 45 Caliber", the Liberator was intended to be air dropped over Nazi occupied territory. Built from machine stampings welded around a smoothbore 45 ACP barrel, the single shot pistol was to be used by angry civilians to lash out at their oppressors and more coordinated partisans to kill Nazis and steal their (much more expensive) weapons. Fitted with a zinc cocking piece, hollow grip, and sliding grip trap cover.
Very good. The pistol has an overall mottled gray/brown patina with light spotting, and small nicks and dings overall. Mechanically fine.
