[montemojo]

This one has buffalo horn handles. It has shell puller for 20 and 24 ga. The best I can make out on the is: in an arch a word ending with the letters Attila then under the arch a word ending with solone.and under that in a downward arch the letters hass

Italian knife from Frosolone not ( solone) some of the mark must be worn, Attila ?? these were marked several different ways. Nice knife!

Would you have an idea how old this one is?

Very interesting little knife! Most of the shell pullers I have seen were for 12 and 16 gauge shells.Don't recall ever seeing a 24 gauge shell before;must be early European.Nice catch!

Shell puller

Thanks for the info wiseguy. I also know nothing about a 24ga. I noticed that the 24ga. side is a little larger than the 20ga. side. Here's another pic of the tang

Looks to me like the second and third line read FROSOLONE CAMPOBASSO. The first line is likely the makers name.

It may be an optical illusion as the 24 gauge should be smaller than the 20. I did a little research and found that the 24 gauge is still being made in Italy by one or two manufacturers. The shells are only 2 9/16ths inches long and are only made by one company still. Apparently small bore guns are still popular in Europe;especially Italy.Combination guns(rifle and shotgun barrels side by side or over/under)have always been popular. Personally I like big bore guns(12 gauge).The first gun I ever fired(at the age of 12)was an Ithaca 10 gauge double.Damn near broke my shoulder and gave me a healthy respect for firearms.

Thanks for the info 1fartsmella I hope that should help me find the makers name. Knife7knut, I thought it was odd that the 24ga. looks larger. I will put some micrometers on it to see. I like the larger gauges also. I once shot a 10ga Browning pump about 15 years ago. It didn't kick as bad as I thought. But did a lot of damage to the old plastic igloo cooler. That was impressive. The worst 2 shotguns I've fired as far as kicking my shoulder was a 16ga plastic stock made in ww2. They used plastic instead of wood due to the war from what I was told. I have an Ithaca mod 37 12ga. with no pad on the buttstock. Man that thing punishes me when I slam fire the thing. Thanks for everything fellas I knew I could count on aapk for help. I'm sure my collection's not as good as many of the knife collection's you'll find in here but I am always looking for knives everywhere I go and asking everyone I meet if they have or know of any old knives. Thanks again I knew I could count on the people at AAPK

Lots of 10 gauge guns around here;mostly goose guns.Canadian geese number in the THOUSANDS on just about any body of water that is reasonable in size(bigger than a puddle).My friend's German Short Hair gets a real workout during the season.
I had a 16 gauge single(H&R I think)that was a real arm breaker.Got rid of it years ago.Still have my favorite;a left handed Remington 1100 with 26 and 30 inch barrels.Must have run 10,000 rounds through it when I was trap shooting with never a problem.Also have a Savage model 69XTR with an 18 1/4" barrel for,"unlawful entry discouragement" loaded with #4 buck. "If ya can hit em somewhere between the head and the crotch they aint gonna give you any trouble" so sayeth a good friend in law enforcement.
Used to be into big bore handguns but they're too hard to control. Had a S&W Model 29 in .44mag with a 10 5/8ths inch barrel(only made for a couple years)and 4 way adjustable sights.Used by a friend for hunting sheep in Colorado and sighted in for 200 yards.Couldn't carry it in a holster(had a custom side break made for it and the barrel dug into my thigh when carried.Forget about a hip holster;the thing weighed nearly 6 lbs.
My last big bore was a single action Phelps with an 8 1/2" barrel(normal size was 12")chambered for .45/70. I shot 3 rounds out of it(it held five)and put it up for sale.Looked like a Colt .45 on steroids.
My everyday carry now is a Detonics Mk1 .45. Colt patterned their Officer's Model after it. Detonics bought 1911 frames and cut them down to hold 6 rounds(if you look close you can see the weld)and made their own barrel and slide. Instead of a barrel bushing like a Colt they use a tapered barrel.they also eliminated the grip safety. Basically a .45 you can put in your back pocket.
If I ever find one I would like to get a Randall .45 left hand model. Very rare and expensive.

Knife7knut, I like the Remington 1100's especially the U.S
. made one's don't own one though one is willed to me 16ga Japan made. My current carry side arm is an ugly yet dependable glock model 32 I like the 357 Sig round I have a Kimber custom cdp 45 really sweet shooter. Cost too much to carry everyday.afraid it might be stolen by a criminal or the government. Kinda hard to tell them apart nowadays. For a deep concealed protection I like the S&W 38 snub nose hammerless of course. I had a nice one that was stolen by a crazy girl freind.now she's gone too. I am currently looking for one to take its place. The S&W that is not the girl I believe I am done with that. Unless I find one that has more knives than I do. As for me, women are for looking at. That's where I draw the line. Have a great day and God bless all
