Baljit, that is a M32 Yarnovich Skein Lightweight Special Presentation Grade, chambered in 4 Ply Magnum.
The Yarnovich factory only knitted up Presentation Grade models for royalty, heads of state, and a very few of the most famous celebrities.
These handguns were highly valued for hunting in the deep Antarctic, where their ability to keep a hunter's hands warm was much prized.
The only problem was using them in brushy areas, which tended to cause lint balls. These lint balls could jam the action, which was a real concern when using them against dangerous game.
Another problem was the sights, which gave a fuzzy sight picture.
But otherwise, note the expert purl craftsmanship on the frame and the well-knitted barrel. These distinguishing attributes ensure that your M32 Yarnovich will give reliable service for many many years.
“Fanaticism consists of redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.”

and.... if you pocket carry, they will keep your hand warm on a cold day.

Also if not pocketed correctly, the slight twist of the barrel in certain direction, an AD could cause permanent damage to one's delicate irreplaceable anatomy.
Cheers !!

That's a Knit & Woollen - only one was made and was used by the famous cowboy Willy Warmer.

Guys, you didn't identify it correctly!!
This was knitted by my great grandma for my grand-dad to play with as a kid. The colonial Arms Act not only deprived my g-g-dad of his real weapons, but of his kid's toy also!!
Now this is kept at the Tower of London for display............

Cheers!

looks like a serious gun thing happening there, can put the best of us to sleep!
Looks like it has the extremely efficient
wool-touch trigger, not something any of us here have the skill to use!

You guys forgot a vital point.....
This is the only lethal handgun for which you won't need a licence in India
It comes under the exempted category
Thanks Baljit
