Original U.S. WWII Crate for C-3 Composition Demolition Blocks - Dynamite - Dated January 1945 Chinese Militaria Blakely stopped offering his designs

Blakely stopped offering his designs to the British Army

and in fair service-used condition

After this many of the gunsmiths he mentored went out into business on their own

It still features the original 22 inch barrel

one wonders how many of these Trade Pistols were turned against the British in the War of 1812
