Pistol 162
Pistol, Cash, captive bolt. Produced by Accles & Shelvoke of Birmingham. Commonly known as a "horse killer", these pistols used a .22 caliber blank to propel a heavy bolt forward. They were used by military Veterinarians to humanely kill horses, mules, and other military animals. Skennerton in "British Small Arms of WWII - P-28" indicates that in March of 1944, the War Office ordered 108 of these pistols (at 6 pounds sterling@) from Accles & Shelvoke. Overall appears unissued with 98% finish. Fascinating.
