RARE PASSLER & SEIDL REPEATING PISTOL.

SN 28. Cal. 7.5mm. Extremely rare Passler & Seidl with 6″ bbl fixed front and rear sight. The rear of the bbl is marked “GUSS/STA” (cast steel) along with SN 28 that is repeated on the forward frame and on the right side of the clip tensioning lever. The top of the frame is marked “WELT/PATENT/PASSLER & SEIDL/WIEN”. When manufactured, the bbl was browned, the bolt was in the white, while the balance of pistol was color casehardened. Function is similar to the Schulof pistols. Feeding is from a stripper clip inserted at the bottom of the frame with a long spring-loaded arm to ensure positive feeding. There is no safety. Grips are finely checkered panels secured with a single transverse screw. PROVENANCE: Ex-Visser Collection, Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess. CONDITION: The bbl retains approximately 30% browning in protected areas. Most of the color casehardening has faded with remnants in protected areas, largely under the bolt and around the cut outs for the actuating lever and the trigger. Orig wood grips with most of the orig finish. Blunted checkering showing only a few handling dings and negligible loss. No cracks. Bright bore with strong rifling and minimal oxidative change. Perfect manual mechanics. An extremely early and interesting repeating pistol that is seldom offered for sale. 4-52436 LMA16 (10,000-17,500) – Lot 1346
