Berger needle fire/Fürst Pless gun

do you mind if I start a new endless archive thread? working a little bit about the Dreyse sporting gun and allways come to Berger/Fürst Pless guns because people misinterpret them as Dreyse guns. thats because they know still less about them than about Dreyse.
just a few guns now and I will bring historical material at a later date.
