was looking over my 2mm .,pearl grips and made in Austria..cool
Roycroftbooksfromme1,
I would love to see close-up photos of your 2mm pinfire pistol. You mentioned that yours is marked AUSTRIA and has pearl grips. If there is a 6-pointed star, (with or without a dot in the center of the star) preceding AUSTRIA, that marking is the rarest of the Austrian marked pistols.
I'm looking forward to see a post of yours in the toys category & the cap gun sub-category.
Thanks,
Dave
