This is one of the most elaborate single shot German Schuetzen pistols we have cataloged. CONDITION: The long matted octagonal barrel retains most of its original dull bluing. The case colored frame with fine bank note scroll engraving is signed on the left side "Bouchele Original Tell", for William Tell. Set trigger with elaborate lever mechanism. Schnabel forend is finely checkered. The thumb rest grip is extremely elaborate, finely checkered and has the German Shooting Federation medallion on left side of grip. The butt retains lanyard ring and its original brass key for adjusting the rear sight. If one desires an elaborate target pistol from the first quarter of the 20th century, look no further.
