That's a basic model...Slick's tastes are more eclectic.
He needs a Laser, solar panel and windmill on it.
And one round of ammunition....just in case he is captured.

I knew the gunsmith that built that.
It survives only in photographs (long story).
But it did fire, and if i remember it
fired only in single action also needing to be indexed by hand.
It was built as a joke for a friend.
I believe it was destroyed in the late 1970's.
The gunsmith died in 2002.
There is a remote chance it is another gun, but I doubt it.
That looks like the same gun in every way.

I really thought it was an Italian service pistol....?
Where, you can shoot over yer shoulder...
More likely though....a Canadian Dueling Pistol.

It was the italians that during WWII developped the whole combat swimmer concept, and they taught the SBS & US special forces the art after Italy kicked Mussolini out of power.
