Bicycle Gun

[?]I was originally told that the gun I have is referred to as a Bicycle Gun but after some further research I am unsure. The gun in question is a rimfire single shot breach loading .22 pistol. It is 150 mm in length has a walnut grip and nickel platted barrel and frame. The date of the gun is around 1900 but it has no makers marks apart from a 06 and + sign stamped into it. If anyone could shed any light on the pistol it would be most appreciated. I can email photos if anyone wishes.[?]

Regards, Pete

  Best would be to post photos on the thread through photobucket or one of the hosts. There are instructions here:

  It's more then likely from your description it is what is called a Flobert pistol. They were commonly used in Europe during the late 19th and early 20th Centuries for indoor target shooting. Generally there is little collectors interest/demand for them. Here is a photo of one off the net.

  lavaexpeditions emailed me the pics.
  He says he is in the UK and the "barrel is blocked" and he wants to know if this is because .22 pistols are illegal in the UK.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Sorry for taking so long to post, lavaexpeditions, I started messing with this 4 hours ago, and have been trying off and on for over an hour.
  Something is wrong with my photobucket account, never have had so much trouble with it.
