Even though traditional style muzzle loaders are my passion, I do have, and use, some modern firearms. And, my real passion in life is the history of freedom and how firearms were part of the process in countries acquiring that freedom.
During the Second World War, the U.S. provided French and German citizens with a really cheaply made single shot pistol called the Liberator. It shot the .45 acp round and stored a few extras in the grip. I have heard it said the Liberator accounted for the deaths of more (Reich) German soldiers than all other means.
I have only seen a Liberator once and that was at the G. M. Davis Gun Museum at Claremore, Oklahoma.
I'm wondering if these have much collector value. And, really, are there many originals out there? I think it would be a thrill to have one. I would display next to my Revolutionary period flintlock long rifle.
