Hopkins and Allen - Dreadnaught
A spur trigger 5 shot revolver in .32 rimfire. Often called a “suicide special” which I think is a misleading name, I have done some research on the “suicide special” and it seems like the revolvers who were called that are mass produced, cheap revolvers without serial numbers.
They all had fancy names like Defender, Patriot or like this, Dreadnaught, and were copies or even copies of copies! Unfortunately does almost all spur trigger revolvers look alike and it’s hard to see whats a good quality revolver or what’s a cheap mass produced one.
Mine have paperwork from Hopkins and Allen and the serial number is 986 so a pretty early production. No rust but some loss of nickel, but it’s 100% mechanical.

This is my personal collection of sawn off weapons.
I have always been fascinated by sawn off weapons, the length, the power, doh this might be somewhat of Hollywood's fault for making it into an iconic weapon, especially the double barrel shotgun, this always seems to be the “bad guys” weapon of choice but the history of both sawn off shotguns and rifles goes a long way back.
I’m not good at writing informative stuff and all this is taken from the top of my head so i'm sorry for any wrongful information but I think it’s interesting, the Obrez Mosin Nagant was used as a trench gun in WW1 for fighting in the trenches, the long Mosin Nagant bolt action was hard to use in CQC so why not do as mercenaries (and others) had been doing in Russia for a long time before the war.
The saw off shotgun started as a coach gun when moving gold or money in the old west. (riding shotgun comes from this by the way) And a sawn off Browning Auto 5 was used by Bonnie (Bonnie and Clyde) and their gang, often referred to as a “Whipit”, as under a trenchcoat and one could “whip it out” fast.
How effective they are and their legality is for someone else to say but one cant say they are not badass!

This is deactivated because of Norwegian law.
So there’s a bit of story to this, it’s a Remington 1893 I got from a friend because he didn't want it, he got it after his uncle died.
Now this uncle’s father fought in WW1 and apparently bought this and used it through the war, he sawed it off because originally it was to long for the trenches.
Later on, he gave it to his son (my friends uncle) they lived in England but moved to Norway after WW2, and because of Norwegian law he had to give it to the police so they could destroy it or he could get it deactivated, which he choose because of sentimental value. When he died it went to my friend who is not a gun guy so he gave it to me.
Not sure if the story is true but if it is, its really cool.

My FN Browning Model 1900.
In really good shape, early serial number so I believe it’s made around 1902-03
