I still have Arms and Armor on my bookshelf! The gilded percussion revolver? The African throwing knife? The tilting helmet with a face? Every page was a new thing for child me to fixate on.

The Lemon Squeezer was the one that always stuck in my mind.

Yep! The Turbiaux pocket pistol. Very unique round gun. Contrary to what the book says, the Iver Johnson gun used in the McKinley assassination bore no resemblance to it.
