Scheibenpistole
Article about: Hi. Here is an odd gun. It fires a 22cal short rimfire cartridge and was used indoors(sic) for targetpractise. According to the little information I have found it was made around 1900-1930.

Re: Scheibenpistole
It could well be a 'parlor' pistol. I believe I have read that back in the 'day', they used to shoot such arm's in their parlors. Into fireplaces etc. A sort of family entertainment system. Just my 'guess'.

Wedge it in a tree and tie a string to the trigger.....Boom and you still have ten fingers

Re: Scheibenpistole
Hi Laplander,
This looks like a cheap nineteenth century pistol which is meant to fire the black powder 6 mm Flobert round. Defenitely not a modern .22 smokeless round!
I would never fire the cartidges you depect next to it!
Nice little gun, though!
Cheers,
Emile

Hi emileverbunt.
Thank you for correcting me concerning right ammo for this gun.
I have seen references to the Flobert round, but not aquired any as of yet.
You are also right when saying its a cheap gun.
Cheap when made and sold, but also cheap when I bought mine.
Maybe you saved me an eye or a finger with your information.
You Emile can stand next to Von Spinctor as an ambassadeur for harm reduction
Thanks
Laplander
