CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO POST A PICTURE? PLEASE? Without the picture, my request for info is kind of useless....

OK, I saw this at a garage sale the other day. WTH? I looks to be a palm gun of sorts....? The end screws off and it looks like you insert a single round in it, possibly a .32? Then with the black knob in your palm, you compress it and it would appear to fire at that point. I advised the guy to put it away, and let me find out what I can about it. So how about it? Does anyone have a clue? Is it legal? Should I forget that I saw it? Should I buy it?

Thanks GREATLY in advance!!

  1982 review of a 22lr version of something similiar in "Handgun Tests" (this one is named the "Panzer Derringer"):
  
  "This is a useless gun. It has a gold paint finish and real plastic pearl handles. It is not as bad as the Twister, because it is cheaper.
  
  It is an unreliable gun that requires you to twist the barrel if you want to get a second shot. That may not be much of a real problem, as some of these do not even get a first shot!
  
  This is advertised as a backup gun. It would be like having Joe Stalin taking care of your bank account! Oh, oh pass on this!"
  
  If you mother-in-law keeps it, make sure she is keeping it for sentimental value and nothing else...

  Thanks! She didn't really want to sell, was just wondering what it was. It is one of the few things we have to remember him by and its $$ value didn't really matter. Just didn't know what the hell it was!! Thanks for you time.
