Greetings,
I am a small-time gun accumulator who lately has developed an interest in old German target pistols. I have acquired a couple and I have my eye on a couple more. But my ignorance is so vast that much of the time, I have no clear idea exactly what I am looking at. I discovered this forum and signed up, in the hope that some of you can help me, at least in identifying some of these guns. So here goes. For starters, I will post a photo of a revolver in which I have an interest. The current owner tells me that it is .32 caliber, which I think means the old ".32 revolver cartridge," and that it has a "double-crown-U" proof mark. Can anybody tell me who made this gun, and approximately when? Any other info would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
