bruce d Posted May 14, 2023 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2023 "Russian Nagant M1895 revolver with an attachment slot for an axe, developed in 1905 for the Russian Navy as a specialized revolver-axe combination for boarding enemy ships - the axe could be used as a shoulder stock for more accurate fire, or just as a regular axe."
