[Nyles]

Arrizabalaga Jo.Lo.Ar, made in Eibar, Spain during the 20s. Unlocked breech 9 x 23mm Bergmann with a tip up barrel (probably the first tip-up semi auto), no trigger guard or safety, and with a folding cocking lever. The whole idea was a pistol for cavalry that could be drawn, cocked and fired with a single hand, leacing the other on the reins. In practice, it just seems all kinds of unsafe! Only ever purchased by the Peruvian mounted police and sold commercially, saw some use during the Spanish Civil War.
