I've come into possession of a POS starter pistol and I can't identify it.
The local track coach is looking for help getting this pistol running and I can't even identify it. It's a .22 caliber, blank-firing starter pistol. the cylinder does not swing out, it's pinned, and for the life of me, I can't figure how to get it out.
Damn gun shoots about half the time. I've been soaking it in Kroil and I"m going to try to get it running, but it would be a help if I could identify the darned thing.
I'm thinking about making some .38 caliber primer-only loads and loaning him my one of my pistols so he can start his next track meet, but it sure would be nice if I could get this POS to run.
Can anyone help me identify it?
Edit. More information. The barrel is plugged, with a hole drilled about 1/2 way down to let he pressure out. It's a 6-shot double action and it misfires pretty regularly. Double action pull is about 33 lbs, and I don't think those are the original grips. No markings except "Made in Germany" on the barrel.
I can understand the manufacturer not being willing to mark this pistol. I"m tempted to tie it to a rock and throw it in a convenient river. But, then I'd need to figure out a way to start a foot-race.
Any ideas?
