Description:

The Adolph-Weber pistols were the result of a partnership between M. Casimir Weber of Zurich, Switzerland, and Fred Adolph, born in Germany but a resident of Genoa, New York, and are among the finest single shot pistols ever manufactured. Each was hand-made and built to a marksman's specifications, and the few extant or documented examples are essentially each unique. It appears Adolph did the final work on the guns himself. His catalog proclaimed "Never the same gun twice." Walter Roper referred to the Adolph-Weber as "an arm so fine that it was little short of perfection." Features a fixed bead blade front sight on the textured rib, an adjustable notched target rear sight at the breech, "K BH 185" marked on the bottom of the barrel, "CAS. WEBER/ZURICH" on the left, and "+PATENT/48107" marked on the right side of the chamber. Fitted with a set of checkered walnut grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining 95% plus blue finish light edge wear, minor spotting and thinning on the barrel, and crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent.
