I have not been able to find out much about this unique piece. It may be one of only like 400 from what I could find. Anyone know anything about these? Thanks.

Seems like an NFA weapon as it doesn't clearly look like a gun...
Do you have a tax stamp for it...

Not an NFA item. There are plenty of folding guns on the market. They don't have to "look like" anything. Straight pen guns or zip guns are NFA items but the barrel on these stay at a 90 degree angle from the handle. Saw some at a gun show years ago but they were in .22 lr. Very cool!

That is again a case of someone who has something no longer made. Now I would be shocked if he got that price for it but, sometimes people who just have to have something no longer made seem insane with what they will pay for them.
I was living in the SW when the original hit and several shops were selling them. The strait one, just pen gun. As so often happens they sold them a good while then the feds decided they could not. They were advertising to anyone who bought one that they were no longer legal. So the Co made it so it had to fold to fire and feds were OK with that. I still could not see the point and they were fairly cheap then.

This one in .22 did fairly well. Higher than I would have expected.

Again someone who "just had to have" something they don't make any more. Collectors can be over the top with what they will pay for stuff. It can be amazing to watch.

I would suspect anyone who shot this thing are now missing fingers?

Golly, I never entertained such a concept in all my born days. Thanks!

I would not dismiss Bill's question so quickly. Do what you want, but be informed about it.

A trench knife with a 12 gauge butt giggity. With an umbrella.

These are basically a Braverman Stinger attached to a pocket knife. It is not disguised as anything. It definitely skirts the line of what is regulated, which is probably part of the reason people are willing to pay so much for them. They are neat gadgets. Also, his question was "do you have a tax stamp??" Lol!
