Thanks for the unusual approach to some very interesting guns. The Victorian period is incredibly interesting. The British gun trade, meeting the demands of Empire, produced Anson and Deeley, Grant, Woodward, Holland and Holland, Lee-Speed, and Martini, to name a few, and helped frame an extremely interesting period of world history. The inclusion of Holmes and Watson are icing on the cake. I hope you may somehow include early auto pistols of the period in future episodes. Webleys, Browning 1900s, H&R, and Colt 1903s. Just a little later in time we have Miles Archer getting whacked with a Webley-Fosbury and Joel Cairo holding Sam Spade at bay with a 1908 vest pocket model. This is the stuff dreams are actually made of.
And thank you for watching. It may be a little bit of a stretch but 'The Problem of Thor Bridge' might sometime draw our efforts. Some have thought Dr. Watson was sporting something semiautomatic.
Thanks for more great content! Are your familiar with Tinker Talks Guns? Great guy and a great channel. He just did a short piece on an Enfield Mk II that you might enjoy if you haven’t already seen it. I am not affiliated with him in any way just like his channel. Thanks again
Why not some episodes on the guns appearing with other great detectives: Hercule Poirot, Jane Marple, Nero Wolfe, Philo Vance, Nick/Nora Charles, Sam Spade, etc.
Thank you so much for watching. Unfortunately my heart belong to Mr. Holmes and the Victorian and Edwardian eras. I encourage those with the inclination and appropriate firearms to have at it!
Lovecraft does mention several characters grabbing a sidearm and putting it in their coat pocket, but I can't recall his stories ever making further mention of it other than "I grabbed my automatic and put it in my pocket."
Thank you for watching! Now you have me puzzled. 'The Call of Cthulu' the board game had firearms but I am squeezing my memory for any mention of guns in Lovecraft's eldritch stories. As Mr. Holmes might have said, "A Webley's #2 is not an excellent argument with ancient, supernatural beings who can twist reality into knots."
I believe the story "Call of Cthulhu" mentions a firearm at least once, possibly "Dunwich Horror" and "Colour Out of Space" as well. It's been a while since I read any Lovecraft so I'd have to reread the stories.
@@joelmclamore1898 I enjoy a good mutton chop from time to time and they sure don’t look like that ( usually with a mint and plum relish.) I thought they were cotton balls that somehow got stuck to his cheeks
