This pistol actually existed, its not a quad barreled shotgun. It was a small, single shot hand loaded pistol made of stamped sheet steel, designed by the allies as a way of equiping many resistance fighters in occupied territory via airdrops and such. Few were made due to problems, and even fewer actually still exist. You might have found a different gun with the same name.

Yeah I know, I've since looked it up; interesting single fire pistol that was dumped after the war.
