Why don't you ask Bruce if you're going to be cheating on us. 😭

If you actually own that thing I've got an electrolysis setup that should strip off that rust and I'm in Mebane once a week.
I've got an old IJ revolver myself, was my dad's. It's not much to look at but better than yours. 😁

That's a heck of a "fined".

The knuckleduster grip dates this to an Iver Johnson between 1906 and 1908. A "Bourne Knuckleduster". Iver Johnson also made a hammerless version, as well. This was only available as an option (not standard production) on their second model safety automatic revolvers in that time frame and about 7,000 were made. It was attached to the frame with three screws, not actually integral to the frame.

More like a skull crusher, actually.
One of the articles I posted above mentioned another make of pistol that was called exactly that. The Merwin Hulbert Pocket Army and Pockete Model had what they called a "bird's head" grip, commonly referred to as the "skull crusher". Essentially, it was an extension of the grip with a lanyard hole in it.
This is a Merwin Hulbert Pocket Army in 44-40 showing the skull crusher. Not sure why they called a 44-40 a "Pocket Army"...I guess they had pretty big pockets back then. Probably the short grip.
When I said "punch in the face" I definitely meant a face attached to a skull, lol.
Not a bad add-on, considering you had maybe 5 rounds of non-expanding LRN .38 S&W (at a blistering 550-600 fps) to problem solve with. And IF the smoke screen you initiated by firing 5 black powder cartridges didn't allow you time to escape... 😆
