Photo of a concealed firearm confiscated by the FBI, “a cunningly and skillfully made .22 calibre, single-shot, small size firearm, carefully concealed in what appears to be an ordinary large size pocket knife. This particular weapon was found in the possession of a 62-year-old Japanese alien in Watsonville, Calif., during recent raids conducted by F.B.I. and local officers in the Monterey-Salinas-Watsonville area last week. Also in the alien’s possession were found 50 rounds of .22 calibre ammunition., 3 large knives and 2 film pack cases. All of these articles are contraband, prohibited by presidential proclamations. So the alien was taken into custody.”.
