Not that I'm aware of... my father-in-law bought it for my mother-in-law when he opened a mom'n'pop hamburger stand and family restaurant back in the 70s. She made the bank deposits and he thought it would help. My wife says it spent most of the time in the bottom of mom's purse and was mostly useful as a weight for a purse-smack
I do have a 1930s issue .30 caliber luger that my wife's uncle picked up in Italy during WW2 (he was in the
Japanese-American 442nd along with two other uncles) and later gave to my father-in-law (who served in the Japan Occupation Forces after the war as a translator/MP). No one wants to stand near me when I fire that for some reason (e.g. "christ, that's old! Is it safe?").
