I'm beginning to think the "original" Olympic Barrels must have been made for Second Model Single Shots, if the 1908 Olympic Pistol Team used them. Either that, or the Team received Third Model prototypes, as 1909 seems to be the most often cited release date for the Third Model.

I'd love to find an Olympic Barrel for my Third Model, just to see what it, and I, might do. And, I wonder where those actual medal winning match pistols have gone? Prized pieces of history, no doubt.


Thanks again.
