Found this:

Does anyone know if they were really used?

Wouldn't have liked to have met a man wearing one...

Not to be used on an empty stomach.
God forbid an attack of the scheisse

It is straight out of a Tarantino movie, pretty sure the bad guy in "From Dusk till Dawn" wore something similar at the zombie bar.

Salut
I read that those were post-war invention.

He wasn't the "bad guy" he helped fight off the first wave of vampires before getting bitten himself.

And it was a codpiece (which was from the film Desperado - like most of the original vampires who were killed in the bar fight in that film)

:lol: :lol:




I've seen something along those lines in a few museums but they were British and pre-1900. They were wore in the small of the back and fired by pulling a string from the front. They were for defence against someone using a garotte

So (ignoring 'codpieces') are we saying the 'Nazi' gun is really a post-war invention. Seems strange?

Re- Mikaveli,

In addition to the huge numbers of reproductions of existing items , some militaria collectors pieces are 100% pure fantaisies. I am not expert and from what I read those firing belt buckles were produced to sell to german occupation GIs souvenir hunters.

Here is a good link to the authenticity debate-seems like it has been rumbling on for quite a few years now with two very defined camps.

Down the bottom of page 1 is a post from an English woman who is a valuer for Halls auctioneers in Shrewsbury, they have recently had one in (a 4 barrel job!) but it hasn't made it into any of there catalogues yet.

Oops, that edit didnt go quite to plan!

I would say they're a post war creation.
