The Black Museum; here in the grim stone structure on the Thames, which houses Scotland Yard, is a warehouse of homicide objects where everyday objects, a skillet, a screwdriver, a photograph, all are touched by murder. Here’s a 22 caliber pistol, a familiar object you’ve seen one or it’s picture, never touched one, an elegant little weapon, blue steel, mother-of-pearl inlaid grip, beautiful in its dainty snubbed nosed wickedness. A ladies weapon that looks as if it wouldn’t harm a fly but every one of them is capable of death and today this little blue 22 can be found among the exhibits of the Black Museum the weapon of a woman who may have got away with murder.
