Need help on finding unique double-barrelled handgun

[rock_jock]

I have a friend who is looking for a rather unique gun. He describes it as a double-barrelled (either over-and-under or side-by-side) handgun chambered in .22. He remebers seeing one several years ago and is interested in acquiring another. He thinks it may be foreign-made. Any ideas?

I once read an article on a little .22 caliber machine pistol that had two side by side barrels. I have also seen a little derringer made by cobray that has a .22 barrel over a .45LC barrel. Either of those ring a bell?

There have been any number of companies that made .22 replicas of the old Remington Double Derringer. High Standard made their DAO derringer in both .22 LR and .22 Magnum.

LOCHFAL, the side by side you saw was a Venus. It was probably suppressed (if it was it has a very interesting sound when it shoots). That is very possibly the most rare modern gun in the world. Where and how did you see an 'article' on it? If this is too close to home email me, I am VERY interested.
