View of one of the intricate murder weapons brought to America by an MVD assassin and his German assistants, 1954. This weapon, concealed in a container camouflaged to appear as a harmless cigarette case, fired poisonous pellet projectiles silently. It was to be used by Captain Nikolai Khokhlov, sent from Moscow to West Germany on an assassination mission, but was instead surrendered to US authorities. (Photo by PhotoQuest/Getty Images)
