Old gun

This is an old tip-up .22 cal single shot pistol with leather belt holster. It is a Stevens Diamond #43, made in Chicopee Falls Mass around 1898. Up until about five years ago, my mother actually used this as her "Rattlesnake gun" on the ranch! I finally convinced her that, although it was still useable, that it should be retired - so she gave it to me.

Quite a collectable pistol,not like some of the early colt pistols,but still a great bit of gun history.
