Luger air pistol patent Weihrauch 1939
Hello,
I recently got the patent papers about a Luger air pistol. The patent belongs to the Weihrauch (Zella-Mehlis) and Adalbert Kadits (Suhl) company. Weihrauch is still famous for air guns and small bore rifles. The patent is dated March 28th 1939 and was published August 5th 1943. It says that this gun was designed to provide an air gun for the youth and all others who have to be trained with the Army Pistol 08. Did this gun/design ever go into production? Thanks Tom |

Can you post pictures of the patent drawings showing the configuration of the air pistol? The only toggle-action "air" pistol that I know of is the Schimel produced in North Hollywood, CA, around 1950 or so. The action is pretty unique (you work the toggle manually to load it) and it was the first "air gun" to use a CO2 cartridge for power.

Hello,
as I said before, I only collect Gew.98 rifles and snipers in the first place, but I'm also interested in pre WWII Lugers. I like them, that's it. If one of you Luger collectors can translate the complete patent, I can post it here, or can send it by e-mail. To have it translated by myselfe would take years. Maybe an automatic/machine translation would help. What do you think? Best regards and good collecting Tom |

Tom,
How many pages in the complete patent? Are there too many to post here?
