As some of you know, a number of years ago I came into possession of a rare prototype S&W revolver - the legendary "Etherium" model. It so happens that I obtained it on an April 1.
It was a dead-end experiment. The metal molecules were actually infused with helium, which made this revolver the lightest revolver ever made - so light, in fact, that it was actually lighter than air.
Because of its rarity, I only take it out once a year on April 1. I have to be very careful not to let it escape when I let go of it - precisely the reason that S&W decided not to release it generally to the public.
At any rate, here is a picture of it, hanging in mid-air. I thought you might be interested in this pic of what may be the very rarest of all S&W products.
