*RARE DARDICK MODEL 1500 PISTOL WITH BOX & AMMO. Cal. 38 Tround. Strange and unusual semi-auto revolver with stamped metal parts that fired from a magazine enclosed in the grip that was loaded from a stripper clip through a trap door on the left side. It had a 6″ round bbl with ramp front sight and adjustable rear sight with an exposed hammer. Grips were brown plastic with the Dardick emblem in a triangle. Finish was black enamel. Bbls were interchangeable to various calibers simply by rotating a screw on the front of the frame underneath the bbl, removing the present bbl and installing a new one of another caliber. Once the screw was back in place the new caliber could then be loaded into the magazine as the ammunition utilized by these pistols all had the exact same external dimensions. This ammunition came in re-loadable plastic triangular shape called a “Tround”. The company actually produced rifles and machine guns for this type of ammunition which, although successful, was never adopted by the military and never realized much popularity with the general public. Accompanied by an original hinged lid, blue Dardick box for the model 1500 pistol with five original rounds of ammunition. Also accompanied by an original instruction sheet and articles that appeared in magazines regarding the Dardick. CONDITION: Extremely fine. Appears to be new and unfired, retaining virtually all of its factory finish. Grips have faded to a purple color. Ammunition is fine. Box has light soil with a small break in the hinge paper, otherwise it is intact and fine condition. 4-38033 JR273 (2,500-3,500)
