Re: [sherlock holmes society of india] Holmes' Tools


Dear Sherlockians,
I think there is a mention of Dr Watson's army revolver in the Red
Headed League . Dr Watsom mentions in The Musgrave Ritual that Holmes
was in the habit of sitting in the drawing room and using a hair
trigger and a box of Boxer Catridges to make a VR on the walls of the
room. In the adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton , Holmes
carries with him House breaking implements . I personally feel that
Holmes seldom useda weapon being a martial arts expert himself(
single stick, Baristu and boxing) . There are many more refernces of
weapons in the canon but of hand I remember these. James , I hope I
have answered your query partially at least

I'm not sure Holmes is exactly 'averse' to women, Sumal, though he definitely sees them as a different species, like a lion might view a leopard. He seems to...

Dear Sherlockians, "Eccentric" is not the word I would first choose to describe Holmes. Rather, "man of singular taste" seems to be right. The so called...
