upper edge of the sword blade 10 and so
retained by the bolt 27..
From the above detailed description of
the invention it is thought that the con-
5 struction and operation will be at once ap-
parent, it being noted that when. the device.
is to be used as a sword, the guard. 12 may
remain in the full line position shown in
Fig. 1, positioned above the handle .and
1o sword blade properly to protect the hand of
the user. When it .is. desired to use the
pistol portion of the device, the guard 12
is shifted upon its mounting rings 13 and
14 and moved to the dotted line positions
15 shown in Figs. 1 and 5 and so retained by
the tensioned locking pin 16. When so ar-
ranged,- the pistol stock 25 may be readily
grasped by. the hand of the user and the
guard 12 will be entirely removed out of the
20 way so as to offer no hindrance whatever.
As shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1 the pistol
barrel 22 may be readily broken down to
remove the empty shells from the shell
chamber 24 and' subsequently returned to
25 'proper position.
While the form of the invention herein
shown.and described .is what is believed to
be the preferred embodiment thereof, it is
nevertheless to- be understood that various
30 forms, modifications and arrangements of
the 'parts may be made without departing
from 'the spirit and scope of the invention
as claimed.'
What I claim as new is:

ing a sword blade, a handle carried thereby,
a guard for the handle and a pistol attached
'to the sword blade adjacent the handle, the
barrel of the pistol being pivotally sup-
