Some years ago, the Sheridan Knocabout was not too difficult to find but not so today. I have not seen one for a long time. They were made until around the early 1960s. They were advertised in gun magazines for mail order sale. In the 1958 Gun Digest, there was a brief article about it which is fairly glowing in its praise as a utility gun for camping, fishing, etc.. The price given was $17.95. I once saw one with an original holster. I do not remember seeing one in a box. Not a bad idea for someone who doesn't need rapid fire capability in a cheap pistol. Some Beretta semiautos and French pistols also have the similar tip-up barrel feature, but they are semiautos. Very cool to have one.
