also Dr Watson's revolver), there are only three times when these
weapons are fired:
To knock the pistol from John Clay's hand in "The Red-Headed League".
To lash out at the snake (with his cane) in "The Adventure of the
Speckled Band".
To hit the villainous one of the title on the head after he has shot at
Watson, in "The Adventure of the Three Garridebs".

Dr John Watson
An estimate of Holmes' age in the short story "His Last Bow", in which
he is described as a "man of sixty" in the year 1914, places his year of
birth around 1854,
Historically, Holmes lived from the year 1881 at 221B Baker Street,
London (in early notes it was described as being situated at Upper Baker
Street), a flat up seventeen steps, where he shared many of his
professional years with his good friend Dr Watson for some time before
Watson's marriage in 1887 or 1888 and after Mrs Watson's death. The
residence was maintained by his landlady, Mrs Hudson.
