Hi, I am hoping there is a member who could give me information about an air pistol that a family member left me in their will. There is no maker name. I have searched the net, and only found a picture of a Swiss Tell 1, which is quite similar. I have attached a pic. Thanks very much!

Thanks Slavia, I'll try my local library. I can't see any obvious marks, but I have compared it to the pistol in the link you gave me. My pistol is .22 cal, smooth barrel. There are no holes or marks for a trigger guard, or any trace that sights were ever fitted. It is fully nickel plated. Could it be possible that the company accepted private commission's? |

Comparing those images it seems the trigger is a different style. |

Yes, I agree. I have played spot the difference between the picture's. The body, barrel and grip do look identical. Unless another maker has copied the design, I can only assume my pistol is derived from the Tell 1. I visited the library, but they were of no help. I think I'll have to try another or just wrap up the pistol and pack it away. As the internet hasn't thrown up any other leads, I'm at a dead end. Thanks very much for all your help, a great site! |
