I'd say a German M. 1883 Military Reichs Revolver, like this one:

Already I know John's follow up question .... "Who owned this particular one?"
Mostly he was found to frequent beer halls and houses of ill repute. Late one night he involved himself in yet another gambling session wherein he lost the weapon to Kaiser Von Donovan concubine Joyce.
From there it was handed down from generation to generation … till several generations dropped it, and it finally ended up in a gun show in some Army Town in Kansas.
And now it has had it’s 15 minutes of fame. By the way I would be careful shooting that thing.
As for shooting it - it's in good shape, caliber equivalent to .44 Russian, and with black powder, should be plenty safe to shoot.
Well, John, we all have our crosses to bear. Since MrsJL has graciously allowed us to spend the money to go see SarahCuda next month, I think I won't push my luck about attending any gun shows.

You picked a cognomen from the only non-Scandanavian Western European country I *don't* claim kindred in.
Except, of course, for Belgium.
Or Holland.
Or Luxembourg.
Or Austria.
Or Switzerland.
Or
Never mind. Forget that I even brought it up. In fact, I probably shouldn't even stick this in the

Ya made me look that up. In any case that story was John's fault. He threw down the 'Smart A**" gauntlet.
Oh, and you whine like a House Democrat.
How'd yours do?
He is now nothing more than a ZOMBIE. That’s why the 3rd District Race is so wide open. The latest speculation is that his wife plans to run. As of yet I am told that no one has even filed as a Dem candidate.
With 8 contenders in the Repub primary …. It is possible that someone could win with some insane number like 26% of the vote.
You gotta love a donnybrook.
"Donnybrook was once the location of Donnybrook Fair, a fair held from the time of King John onwards, that gave rise to the term a donnybrook, meaning a brawl or fracas. Donnybrook is also the traditional home of rugby union in Leinster."
That said, I changed the canvas on the passenger side...
Did somebody mention.... "Dennis Moore"?

"Your lupins please!"
Absolutely inspired.
Either he likes the atmosphere in the DC Cocktail circuit and wants to stay there with no accountability (like he's had much anyway), or Mrs Moore might not like the idea of his 'spending more time with his family.'
Good move on the canvas. You have provided a loving home for a poor homeless Jeep.

Heh, 'you're not supposed to be smoking that."
