Can anyone tell me what this pistol is and the approximate date it was made? It's been laying in the bottom of my gun cabinet for several years and I honestly don't remember where it came from. I was digging around in the cabinet looking for a pocket knife and saw it laying there. Decided to see if any of you knew anything about it.
The barrel size looks about the size of a .22 and it has rifling.
It is marked "Gerstenberger & Co" on the top and "FLOBERT 6m/m gezogen" on the side. Here are some pics:




I appreciate any help.0 -
If you need different pictures please ask. I can get any. It also came with a matching holster with the eagle and the swastika stamped on the inner part of the holster where the grip lies. 0 -

Your pistol was made for the German military during W W I, by the firm of Becker & Hollander, located in Suhl.
Their were a number of different manufacturers/models of these various substitute standard pistols, ( "Behelfspistoles" ) acquired by the Germans. The Beholla was just one of them.
The ones that are marked with German military acceptance stamp(s)* are most sought by collectors.
