These are a lot bigger and heavier than one would expect. Made of steel components welded together and as noted very fragile grips. One has a straight(ish) trigger guard, the other angled. My speculation is that the angled version is later and they didn't care about how it was cut to length, just welded it as-is. The angled one has cruder welds throughout and has S/N 6 (or 9?), the straight TG is unnumbered. Both pistols have what appears to be an aluminum deposit finish. It might be paint, it might not. Not "raw" anyway.

S/N 6 details.
With the angled trigger guard, I have to put my middle finger inside the guard and ring/index fingers outside which makes it a bit awkward to pull the trigger through.

Details of the no serial number, "not quite straight trigger guard" pistol.
The cutouts on each side of the barrel are to facilitate brute-force, manual extraction of the fired shell.
