Star Pistol 334164

Star Pistol 334163 was 9mm weapon issued to Robert Winters, private in the Ulster Defence Regiment, and a founder member of the modern Ulster Volunteer Force.

Anne Cadwallader writes in Lethal Allies, 'Winters was robbed late at night by three men in Portadown late at night in March 1973. He says he was 'struck on the head with a blunt instrument', requiring admission to hospital.'.

The weapon was later used in a number of shootings including those of Patrick Turley, Dorothy Trainor and John Francis Green.
