Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

This is a very rare early example of a prototype pocket pistol manufactured by the Bergman Company in 7.65 MM Auto. This pistol was intended to be a copy of the famous Walther PPK with some minor design changes to keep from infringing on the Walther design and is the only one know in the white. This exact pistol design is hand drawn in the book; "AF Beldingen Van Automatische Pistol." on page 669 and is the only example know to have been produced. The left side of the slide is marked "Kal. 7,65/MOD. I" and the right rear side of the frame and slide are stamped with the early "Crown/N" commercial proof. The lower left side of the frame is stamped with serial number 0107, and the front underside edge of the slide is stamped with matching number "7". It has fixed sights with smooth walnut grips and is complete with its original magazine.

Rating Definition:

Very good overall with all the metal surfaces still in the white as noted above. The grips are in good plus showing minor handling marks and light scratches. Mechanically functions, but needs works. It hand cycles correctly however the trigger will not stay forward (the spring is missing/broken) and it will not stay cocked.
