Since this is the Smith & Wesson Forum, I hesitate to post photos of my tons of other stuff; but, this one is just too good. It's a smooth bore and very large caliber pistol. It's a Scheintod! On each grip there is a little skeleton dancing down near the bottom corner. The hammer and loading gate remind me of the early British revolvers. Double action and single action. The trigger folds down and comes into place as soon as you cock the hammer. Very tight and fully functional, but I have not one clue as to what it shoots. Picked it up at a pawn shop close to 10 years ago. Some people have told me that it was designed to shoot poison bullets. Does anyone know what it is, when it was made, and what it shoots? I was told that the dancing skeleton was symbolic of the death it would cause through the use of poison bullets.
