This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 10/22/2019
These guns are shrouded in mystery. Produced by American Machine & Foundry company, it is a single shot 9mm pistol. Made to serve a similar purpose to the infamous "Liberator" pistols of World War II. 1,000 “Deer” guns were made in 1964, with the intent of being air dropped to South Vietnamese guerrillas during the Vietnam war. It has been said that they were never actually sent to Vietnam, and their existence has been denied by the CIA. Only a handful of these very rare guns have survived, with the majority of production having been destroyed. Completely unmarked as one would expect for a Clandestine Operations destined firearm. CONDITION: Almost relic condition with the action rusted solid. There is some corrosion to the aluminum grip. Barrel has pitting. The barrel is partially unscrewed, will unscrew all the way but won't seat against the frame. GR
