While the flare launchers above are always of interest to me.... To be clear, this is not a flare launcher but rather a tear gas launcher that is - coincidentally or not - of .44 S&W *chamber* dimensions. The thread got started as I had asked a question on another thread about format and where...

Thank you for the description and the wonderful photographs. I was completely unaware of that hammer style. Good to know. Were I to see one in a bin I'd have likely thought it an un-finished piece.

I appreciate the information and the photographs. At least the second time that the hammer has been commented upon. That's an interesting switch. I wonder - for the super-geniuses - which hammer did Registered Magnums have?

Sound reasoning but for me, organization is my undoing. Well, lack thereof in any case.

I share your caliber-inflation reluctance. It's caused me to pass on a great many firearms and carries somewhat over to magazine-inflation reluctance as well.

For me; too nice is TOO nice. Assuming that when we are speaking of condition it is an appearance issue. 80% would imply that I've had and enjoyed it for a few years and so the previously fella doing the same assuages any guilt on my part. But then too - NIB for me is just a gun I haven't...

That's rather where I end up with this one when logic takes over. I have to believe that a .44 S&W cartridge fitting HAS to be coincidental to the designed-for tear gas cartridge. The .22 pen-guns, I get as they have reasonably believable barrels.

I still have two sets of those from retiring.

It was too dark to take one yesterday and I really posted only to find out if it was OK to address these on the forum and once approved, I'd build a proper post. So: It came from an estate sale of a former LE type. Looking into it, most often, the Lake Erie Chemical Company item is addressed...

Thanks. And thank you for blowing the pictures up. I used to know how to do that upon posting but it escapes me just now.

Thank you. I'll update when the letter comes.

Very good to know. I had seen one on a listing that had both grips marked so I was not sure. Still trying to get a copy the Standard Catalog.

Got it. I'll take that too. I was just hoping that it wasn't in the mid 50's as most that I see listed are. Wouldn't really matter in the end - just a bit less common. Seems like the vast majority I came across in looking were strangely within the same couple of years of '55-'56.

What I have: a 469. What I need: up to and including 6 magazines from S&W. Help this to cease to be a curious paperweight.... please. Regards, Todd.

I recently found a Lake Erie Chemical Company (LECC) .44 cal pen-launcher/(gun?) in an estate sale. I understand that LECC was owned by either S&W and/or Bangor Punta and figured here might be a good place to ask about it but I figured to check here first as these are such weird items. Is it...
