bullet used to measure muzzle--details GERMAN target pistol 004

The thing accepts modern .22, even long rifle, and it seemed like a smooth bore, but may feature a German version of Metford rifling. It looks strong, but it should NEVER be fired with modern ammunition.

 

I think it might be "Metford pattern" rifled, since with the micrometer, there appear to be high and low points.

 

Very slick locking and safety system, extraction/ejection lever is clever, too.
