*EXTRAORDINARILY RARE CIA DEER GUN CLANDESTINE SINGLE SHOT PISTOL. SN NSN. Cal.9mm. 1-7/8″ blued steel bbl. Single shot. Manufactured around 1964 as an updated version of the famous Liberator pistols which were dropped behind enemy lines in WWII. The “Deer” gun was designed to be dropped in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam war. The guns never made it to Vietnam and the CIA denies their existence. It is rumored that the guns were destroyed and only a handful survived. The frame is one piece cast aluminum with raised checkering on the grip area which was hollow to house a few extra rounds of ammunition. A groove runs down a ramp on top for sighting. The barrel unscrews for loading and removing the empty casing. A cocking knob was pulled until cocked. The aluminum trigger featured no trigger guard. Included with the pistol are a set of orig engineering drawings which may be orig blueprints. Copies of the orig instructions are also included, which show how to use the gun against enemy with a hammer and sickle on his sleeve. This is an extremely rare pistol that is a piece of the CIA’s Clandestine history and a “crown jewel” in any US Military collection. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl retains 99% orig bright blue. Aluminum frame is in near new condition with very little wear. The rubber butt cap which housed an ejector rod that fit into the hollow grip is missing, as is the “horse collar” safety device which was a separate piece that held back the firing knob. 4-37367 BS35 (10,000-15,000)
