Identification of WWII pistol
A friend of mine would really like some information of this pistol, that his Father brought back from WWII. It seems to not be a regular production pistol. His father told him that he got it off a German Officer. It has wooden grips that are made to fit the owner,it also has 2 triggers. One seems to be a set trigger and one a hair trigger.Maybe a target pistol? As far as markings go - it has a small circle with a man firing a pistol in it. It is a small caliber. One dealer who looked at it thought it was made in Suhl. Thanks for any help.If any one knows how to post images here please let me know or I can send email pics.

Not hard, even I can do it, and it will be absolutely necessary for positive ID and any attempt to value.0 -
Sounds like a typical European single shot .22 target pistol, maybe even a nice free pistol. But the part about a German Officer is nonsense, unless they were searching his house during the Occupation. We confiscated all guns from all Germans then, scrapped a lot of them, looted the rest for war souveniers. 0 -
There you are, shlbyman. Better late than never.
I had to figure out how to resize the pics.

If that's what German officers carried,it's no wonder they lost the war. [;)] 0 -
Target pistol of the type used in Match Shooting commonly known as a FREE PISTOL very nice condition but has a limited market. 0 -
If the "man in the circle" is a policeman firing a pistol, that is a trademark of "AKAH," which, in turn, is a tradename used by Albrecht Kind, a large German arms dealer/supplier before, during and after WWII 0
