I have a friend at work who's uncle recently passed away and he was going through the deceased uncles things and came across a .25 ACP Dixon Detective he had left in one of his coat pockets. It looks to be in very good condition. Does anyone know anything about this particular .25 auto? Thanks in advance for any information.

My grandfather has one that used to be my great-grandmothers. All I know about them is that at least two exist. Look forward to hearing more.

Had one in my shop years ago. IIRC they were spanish made. An inexpensive belly gun.
Dixon was the name of the importer. The company imported firearms from Spain, Italy and West Germany. These were small inexpensive firearms with fancy names. I believe, but don't know for sure, that your fire arm may be a a Galesi ( Italy). Because these firearms were marketed under so many different names research based on just a posting and no picture or proof marks makes it very difficult to make a positive ID. At any rate value would be about the same. In excellent ( Like new) condition maybe 100 to 150.

Mark Dixon is also the name of a famous detective from a 1950 Noir classic, "Where the Sidewalk Ends."

There is only one Galesi, Galesi, Industria Armi, Brescia, Italy. How ever they have under gone several name changes. Rino Galesi Armi to Industria Armi Galesi, to Rigarmi di Rino Galesi. A rose by any other name is still is a Galesi. Must be hell on their marketing people to try and sell a product idenity.
