Lot 2028 | Dreyse Zündnadelpistole, Versuchsmodell, 1849
Dreyse Zündnadelpistole, Versuchsmodell, 1849
Nummerngleich mit SN 2, Kal. 15,5 mm. Spiegelblanker, gezogener Lauf mit vier Feldern und Zügen, Länge 23 cm, mit dickem Mündungswulst. Die ganze Waffe leicht überarbeitet, Lauf und Abzugsbügel neu brüniert, Kimme und Korn gebläut, Verschluß und Hülse blank. Geringe Reste von Rostnärbchen. Das System links beschriftet "N.Dreyse Soemmerda / 1849", davor die Seriennummer "2" (auch auf vielen Schrauben). Die Zündnadel erhalten, funktionsfähig. Nußholzschaft mit feiner Fischhaut, am Rücken mit 4 Schrauben befestigte Aufnahme für einen Anschlagschaft, die Entriegelung über einen kleinen Hebel hinter dem Abzugsbügel.
Dazu Kopie eines Artikels aus DWJ, Dez. 2024, in dem diese Pistole und ihre Geschichte ausführlich beschrieben wird. Extrem selten!
Während Reckendorf aufgrund der Schaftform von einem zivilen Modell ausgeht, könnte es sich dennoch um ein Vorlagemuster für das Militär handeln, mit dem Dreyse (erfolglos) gegen die später eingeführte Perkussionspistole M1850 vorstellig wurde.
A Dreyse needle-fire pistol, prototype, 1849
A Dreyse needle-fire pistol, prototype, 1849
Matching numbers. Barrel length 23 cm, bright, rifled bore with 4 grooves in Cal. 15.5 mm. The entire gun professionally reworked, barrel and trigger guard reblued, bolt and receiver polished, with some minor pitting. Front and rear sights nitre-blued. The left side of the receiver marked "N.Dreyse Soemmerda / 1849" and serial number "2" (also found on most bolt heads). The needle intact and fully functional. Walnut stock with fine checkering, on the back an attachment iron for a shoulder stock, unlocked by a little lever behind the trigger guard. An article in the German magazine DWJ, Dec. '24 edition, describes this pistol in detail (copy attached, in German language). Extremely rare!
While the style of the stock convinced Reckendorf that this pistol be a non-military gun, it might well be one of a few trial pistols with which Dreyse unsuccessfully competed against what was to become the last Prussian percussion pistol, the M1850.
