in the beginning I thought it was possible that needle fire revolver were in the sporting gun serial range but that was not the best idea, another good example that revolver made in masses had own serial numbers is this Franz v. Dreyse M 79 revolver for the civilian market, most likely for private purchase by officer's, with the SN 277 http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=490895632 the Rheinmetall - Dreyse/ Sömmerda pistol carbine M 1907 in 7,65 Br./32 ACP is normally not part o this thread but here is an interesting example I have not other place to safe the pics. its one of the carbines bought for the police in saxony and it seems sometimes later sporterised by Carl Gründig/ court gunmaker in Dresden/Saxony http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=491664430 the 32 ACP is not a real power horse but the little carbine saw some use as a hunting carbine. its possiblew to shoot roe deer with 22lr and so the little browning cartridge was able to do the same. its seems it was loved by poacher because of the little noise it was making. there is at least one case I remember where a forester was shoot by a poacher with such a carbine in germany. this is the original sporting version of this little rifle: http://egun.de/market/item.php?id=5507797#img and here in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4TIDsiOwJk |
