Here's a couple more oddball pistols for you. These are a few of my Thomas Pistols mad by the Alexander James Ordnance Co. in the Mid 1970's. They look like Walther PPKs on steroids. They have a fixed barrel. The breech was manually locked by a set of stirrups that locked up into recesses in the slide. What looks like a grip safety is actually a lever that cams the stirrups up into the slide. It's pretty wild. Most guns were blued, but a few were in satin, and fewer still were nickel plated. Roughly 600 guns were made before the company went out of business. They are pretty much unknown, and until recently, were relatively cheap. If any one on the board has one, or knows of one, I'd like to know. I'm trying to put together a "Thomas" Collector's website.
