the only cut-away made and unfortunately the pistol never went into production. The Berlin born immigrant Rolf . E. Dieckmann, then living in Connecticut, patented Nov. 1st 1965 this semi-automatic pistol. An interesting design featured in Gun World March 1966; Guns Oct. 1976; Guns Illustrated 1977; American Handgunner Sep. 1978 and Deutsches Waffen Journal DWJ. Included are copies of the U.S. Commissioner of Patents.
