FQ, I honestly think it looks like a combination of German designs, and the little slide grabs near the back look like they were copied from another pistol altogether.

The serial number seems to imply this was a production weapon of some kind.  I have to admit, this one is really starting to bother me.  My searchitzu is usually top notch - I've found nothing to match this.

I've searched the web for probably 8 hrs total on this - went through 95 pages of c&r auction thumbnail photos, checked ww1, between the wars, ww2 pistols from many different countries. This pistol has features similar to many of them, but none matched exactly.

You may want to send an email to Teri from this site and see if she can offer any ideas.  http://members.shaw.ca/tju/jhg.htm  Her email link is at the bottom. Some good books listed on the page also.

I'm going to d/l your photos and bring them to work - some of the fellas may know something.

The NRA publication American Rifleman has a feature called This Old Gun where they research and identify the obscure guns of readers.  They do this for a living.

If billt and KPR don't have one of these, maybe it's time to call in the pros.

Still believe it's some form of homemade pistol, from the Warsaw Ghetto..or thereabouts.

I'm not sure about that....very close...maybe even a handmade 'copy'...but there are too many differences:


pinholes are wrong on the frame near the trigger




hammer is wrong




slide is different
