BITTNER LEVER ACTION PISTOL.
# 357 on back strap covered by the grip panel. Cal. 7.7mm Bittner.
Unusual repeating pistol with 6" octagonal barrel with matted top flat,
tall front sight and an unusual ramp rear sight graduated to 150 meters. This
stripper-magazine-fed pistol has the housing in front of the action with
checkered wood panels on sides. The action mechanism is extremely unusual in
that the bolt stays fully retracted until the ring trigger is pulled which moves
bolt forward stripping a round into the chamber. The ring lever has a slot in
the back to allow the trigger contact with shooter's finger which releases when
bolt is fully closed. It has checkered walnut bird head grips with a lanyard stud
in butt. It appears that less than 500 of these rare pistols were made in 1893.
Provenance: Stern Collection.
The barrel retains 95
-96% strong original blue, the receiver and action 70 - 75% faded original case
colors, strong and bright in sheltered areas with some fine surface
discoloration and light etching. Grips are sound and retain most of their
original
oil finish showing light wear. Mechanics are fine. While the pistol is scarce, a
magazine and cartridge are even more rare, and one magazine with correct
cartridge included.
The pistol is in very fine
condition.
$17,500.
