Geno:

Thanks for the info on the Pigeon gun and also the frame was longer. Of course a special/spezial gun could have been ordered much like the Model 18, but I know Spezial Gewehr Lauf Stahl was available on the Model 18 and I don't think so on the Model 29.

So CJ, what is your frame length and what type steel stamp does it wear?

I had assumed the change from Spezial to SpeCial was earlier than 1950, but I really didn't have any idea? Maybe post WWI?

Kind Regards,

Raimey
