I’m thinking it’s one of the German made single shot gas pistols but can’t for the life of Me think who made them.

[Jeb Stuart]

Rare? , history?,calibre? estimate the price..

I’m going to have to hand it over to the experts Jebb I think they were made between wars so 1930ish? Also pretty sure they have their own particular caliber.Possibly to avoid a conventional round being fired?Value ? I’ve no idea lol

I have been searching my reference books, Came across some early SIG pistols that used the concentrically circle knobs.
But nothing that shows that exact pistol.

So by "Gas Gun" what do you mean exactly?

Is it the type that shoot tear gas?

It looks very similar to a August Schuler gas pistol.

This is a so-called "Lacrimae pistol" ['Lacrimae' meaning 'tear gas']. In the AKAH Catalogue from 1939 there is a picture of this pistol. Company August Schuler is assumed to be not the manufacturer, but only the distributor. "ASS" stands for August Schuler Suhl. The Lacrimae was made for a special cartridge, other cartridges won't fit. The cartridges were in the catalogs in the 50's, the weapon itself not any more. The Lacrimae pistol is loaded by pushing the cartridges from the top into the magazine. The cartridges are loaded [into the chamber area] by a spring in the magazine below the cartridges. The cartridges are ejected to the side by gas pressure​

Hope that helps
