SPECTACULAR AND CASED F. NEUMANN SPEZIAL MODELL CENTRUM SINGLE SHOT TARGET PISTOL.F. NEUMANNOLYMPIC PISTOL16422MODERN; C&RCal. 22 LR. 13-1/2" oct bbl with key adjustable target sights and wonderfully case colored receiver and trigger guard with double set target triggers and extremely fine checkered target stocks with walnut forearm. Intriguing manually operated falling block, somewhat of a Martini design, but distinctly different. Serial numbered 164 on left side of frame with the number 4 on numerous small components including most screws, with a readily removable falling breech with a very faint undetermined proof mark on top. Gun is housed in what appears to be a period casing, but has obviously been relined very recently. PROVENANCE: The Esteemed Collection Of Noted Expert And Author Warren Buxton. CONDITION: Very good overall with rust blue bbl having turned somewhat plum. Front sight has been modified slightly and is very short. Case colors on receiver and trigger guard are vibrant and quite elegant with a slight amount of distress at and around the rear sight from having been drift adjusted. Bore is very good with strong lands and grooves, however is quite dirty and needs a cleaning. It is believed it should clean to excellent. Action has been tested manually and seems to function properly but is a very unusual design and little is known by this cataloger. 51569-87 TDW (1,250-1,500)
