This .38 caliber glove was designed by Stanley M. Haight and manufactured by Sedgley Co. of Philadelphia. 52-200 copies of this single shot break barrel smooth bore design.

It was meant as a covert operation and assassination weapon in the Pacific Theater. It was mounted on the back of a cowhide glove; a long-sleeved coat would usually be worn to hide the weapon.

      I always knew how he votes and what his beliefs are just from background things, but he never once brought it up until then.

      Forgotten Weapons did a segment on it, but sadly Ian did not fire one. It’s a neat firearmhand.
