Thanks for the photos. Interesting little guns.

So the ÖWA ejects left? The top of the gun is fixed but there is an interior sliding block? I don't quite understand what I see. What function does the screw in front of the trigger guard have?

Nice hard rubber grips on that Mauser 1910! Probably pre-WW I production.

Pretty cool...do you have a collection of vintage vests too??

Clothing vests,no, but I wish I did Back in the late 50s I use to wear vests in elementary school.

Excellent. Most of those "WTP"s have somewhat complicated actions, their ergonomics are poor, but they show superb fit and finish.

A few months ago, a friend of mine gave me a German pistol; a .32 caliber Langenhan, Langenham Army Model. I did a little research on it, and found the company originally made air guns, but was pressed into service making this model from 1915-1918. I would shoot it if I had the 8 round magazine, however from what I read, you have to be very careful as there is a round knurled 1/2" screw on the back of the slide that can blow back injuring the shooter if not tightly screwed in. I'm thinking this will be a "wall-hanger".

Loved that 1910. A 1910 was my very first pistol, had the wood wrap around grips. I was too young at the time to appreciate it. Unfortunately traded it off, but it was for a K22.

I like the little ones...

I know nothing at all about the Owa. Which lever is the trigger?

I LOVE the old vest pocket guns. I even carried one, when anything larger would not be 'socially acceptable.'
