RIF contract?

Arminius · 10-15-2014, 04:59 PM

"Das gute an der Sache war das dieser Kontrakt von der DWM
nicht mehr ausgeliefert werden konnte , weil der besagte Berberfürst als die Waffen zur Auslieferung bereit gewesen wären bereits einen Kopf kürzer war .....
Daher gingen die meisten dieser Waffen aus diesem Nummernkreis an die Weimarer Polizei oder in den privaten Handel.

Diese Waffen wurden zur Vorsicht von der DWM nach den Versailler Abkommen gefertigt: Lauf ist 98 mm und Kal. 7.65 mm Para, alles andere war ja verboten ."

in short:

the pistols were bought by an Emir / Sheik, but couldn´t be delivered, as he lived not long enough to receive them ...

sigh ... those were the days ...

Pistols were sold to Citizens or Weimar Police.

slightly less than 4" bbl, to be on the safe side, over 4" was forbidden by Versailles treaty.

What would such a gun without extras in nice condition ( strawing fine ) be worth?

Not enough info. Need to know if it has a blank toggle, serial number, 9mm or .30 cal.? The side plate looks odd. "Conventional wisdom" is that all the Riff guns were sold to the German police, the commercial database tends to bear this out, although a couple of reports lack the details to be conclusive. No sear safety on this example.

Info is from the seller.

Yes, the seller is very reluctant to send Pictures.

It´s in 7.65 mm Parabellum.

He wants 2 K. I think, I´ll skip it.
