This Gun Saved Mossberg!! (The Brownie) 

Considering it was being manufactured through the 1930's, more than likely it provided small game food for poor families who'd fallen on hard times. For only $5 (equivalent to $112 today SHOCKINGLY) and firing one of the last expensive cartridges (.22 short), I'm sure it was a life saver for some.

Great history and life lessons!

Aside from a strange trigger pull. They're a great little derringer

Was super entertaining brotha
