I had an opportunity to see & shoot something I didn't even know existed!
A pre-WW2, German made, .22 pellet gun...Mike, the owner, said it's been passed down from his grandfather who served in the European theatre of WW2. His grandfather translated the instructions from German to English & said it was used to train military officers in the use of the Luger.
There's a button on the right side of the trigger guard that opens the action similar to a single shot rifle or flare gun. The button also releases the trigger guard...such is pulled down to cock the action.
It was accurate to about 4" at 20 yards. The feel was all Luger, which made the sound of the spring & lack of noise & recoil really odd!
He has the original box, instructions & box of original pellets. Finish is well over 90%.
Sorry, I forgot my phone so this pic that Mike took is the only one I have. Holding & shooting such a rare piece of history was a honor. Mike said it wasn't for sale at any price as he wants to keep it in the family. He's not even a gun guy!
