Ipasoy's here daily! I'll have to look up that Pickert revolver. Most European pocket revolvers of the era could not compare to the US Iver Johnson or H&R. The Euro guns used to turn up rather often at gun shows, but rarely in working order. The H&R and IJ revolvers are fairly easy to work on, but there are no parts for the pre-war Pickert, Hubertus, Armenius and the like.

Patrick, I would expect the same for the Mauser 1910 in 6.35mm or the Mauser 1914 and 1934 in 7.65mm! The latter issued to the Kriegsmarine...

The little Mausers are strange to operate. Especially the locking slide with no release lever. I checked out a reference I saw in the novel "If I Die On The Jersey Front". A kidnapper took the heroine's 1914 Mauser. Unfamiliar with it, he had is finger on the trigger as he inserted a loaded magazine. The pistol fired and shot him dead. I tried that at the auction house and I was able to get the firing pin to drop on at least one occasion as magazine went in. Not all of them would do that, but the writer did know something about the mechanism. Also saw a 6.35mm that belonged to a USAAF pilot stationed in India during WWII. Even had the appropriate (British) Arms Licence for it.
