M. FISCHER, BERLIN

M. FISCHER, BERLIN S.W. made revolver with very uncommon trigger system, in Winant's FIREARMS CURIOSA, page 258 - 250,
# 304 "fingerless double action revolver designed for man who because loss of fingers can not operate conventional triggers." Caliber circa .38, inside loading gate # 1). No German proof stamp as required starting in 1896, therefore made before  1896. The metal parts are bluish - grayish,  plain wooden grips with the right showing an age crack. The first model of this type I own in more than 40 years of collecting, and it is scarce. In good working order  and good condition     $3,000,

With the  antique comes The Gun Report, February 1969, The Gun on the Month by Harry Mann, depicting a very similar, probably the same  revolver.
