Big deal. Many people have or had hollowed out books where they kept weapons.

However, this one looks like an antique historic pistol. Anybody know anything about it? The article didn’t give any details.

Friends of the family were packing out their deceased parent's things and putting books into boxes to give away. One of the siblings tossed a book, which opened up, and out flew hundred dollar bills. They then started going through all of the books and found over $18,000.

That hollowed out book may be how it came to an owner. Keep it on your desk or credenza.... and surprise....

Any derringer fans out there??

Looks like a repo though....or the gang that couldn't shoot straight...hence the directions.

I recall that one of the reproduction arms companies in the 1970s made a firearm like this that was sold in a book casing. . . I am pretty sure this is one of those. Possibly Navy Arms? If I recall correctly the binding had faux leather and a title something like “Arms and the Man” or equally cutesy. . . There were several models available.

Goodwill takes piston donations?

Heck, I’d just like to get rid of some chairs.

Now Goodwill can change their ads from a “little black dress” to a “little gold gun.” “We have it. You want it. And it’s in one of our stores, somewhere, for you to find.”

Had it been me, it would have been, “Wow. A pistol. My lucky day. I’ll buy this book and take it home.” There would have been no news story about it, or police report.
