EMGE Model III, Gas Pistol, Caliber .6 mm Rimfire

This diminutive double barrel Over/Under pistol could prove to be a deadly adversary. It was capable of firing both bullets and tear gas shells. Its original cost at the time of its WWII introduction was listed in a catalog at $1.06. The pistol was manufactured by Gerstenberger & Eberwein of Gussenstadt, Germany, a firm noted for their inexpensive firearms. It is in original condition as pulled from the fire. The side shown in the photo was obviously face down in the display case as the reverse side grips look like charcoal.
