Pole vaulting!




C'mon, nobody else is straining to think who had this thing built and what for, where, etc?

In 1925, an 8-bore Paradox? Austrian to-boot? I'd love to know who had it built, where it was headed, if it ever got there, what it shot {and what it didn't...}, why it is in great shape as opposed to used hard, etc.

Smith and Wesson offers a service to research or "letter" their revolvers and while most of the time the info gained is pretty boring stuff, sometimes the "shipped to" portion reveals an interesting story. I think this thing has a story, at least during its "commissioning".

Those of you who are knowledgeable about these things, isn't an Austrian 8 ga jungle gun a bit of an oddity as made in 1925?
