Thumbs up check this out!

I saw this on antiques road show the other day. Please forgive the hideous picture quality.
It is called a purse revolver. You put your money in the little case it's in and when you are getting robbed you are right there at the trigger. It was valued a 4 to 5000 bucks. Made in Germany I think. If I remember correctly it was made by a company called Tankenau or something like that. Nice piece of machinery though.
Peace,
Gordon

I heard from a few ladies it was a rolled up sweat sock.

But that was back in the day when a bandit would rob you for just your money. They would stand there and wait for you to empty your change purse. And there was such a thing as penny candy.

Nowadays you can't buy candy for a buck and the thugs just shove a glock fortay in your face and say "gimmie whatcha got". Criminals........what's become of them?
