    It appears to be. What the Germans call a "Scheintod Pistol". Due to stringent gun laws, in the fatherland. Many different models of blank and tear gas pistols, have been made over there. Dating to the early years of the 20th Century.

    Your appears to be a fairly late one? Probably post W W II. Not a automatic, but a manually operated repeater. Either to be used with 4 mm or 6 mm. Blank or tear gas shells.

    Monogram on the grips is probably the manufacturer?

    Might be? Over on the other side of the pond. Because you can't own the real McCoy. Various of Scheintod's are collected. Probably best for you, to put it on our auction. If there are multiple collectors from over there who bid on it? It might cause the value/demand to escalate?
