SN. 380, matching numbers. Production probably in 1896. Needle-etched octagonal barrel with a matte bore and a dovetailed beaded front sight. Barrel length 152 mm. Five shots. The right-hand side of the receiver marked "PATENT BITTNER" above "GBW" in an oval, the logo of Gustav Bittner in Weipert, Bohemia. Original bluing of the barrel, some remnants of the colour case hardening on the receiver with some spotting. The magazine well covered with dark walnut panels with fine checkering. The charging clip a reproduction. Good overall condition. Factory number "380" under the grip scales, and "80" on most small parts. The springs unnumbered.
This repeating pistol was designed in 1893 by Gustav Bittner, but did not become a commercial success. Rare!
