    Another pistol identification challenge

    Recently came across this weirdo http://imgur.com/a/PHjX2. Can anyone identify it? I am sure someone soon will, but it will be interesting to see how quick they are.

    Looks like it's painted with the same high quality brown gloss paint that many of the top quality Chinese pistols come painted with! Lol

    Well done Trev and Baz, and so quick. Yes, another pistol from India made by SDB, called the Frontier. Not quite the quality of the old FLZ 1!

    I will have to try much harder next time.

    A matched and boxed pair would be nice for the odd duel.

    Looks like a cut down Slavia 622 painted with melted Caramacs!

    I had no idea who were 'Adam & the Ants'. Now I do. There is much to be learned from lurking on this forum.
