Description:
This is an import gun.  In very good shape!

The Dreyse Vest Pocket pistol was patented in Great Britain in 1910 (British patent 1910-20660) by Louis Schmeisser.  The British patent states that a German patent had been applied for on 8 September 1909, though I have been unable to locate a copy of the German Patent.  The British patent covers only the method of barrel retention and of dismantling the gun:  “The present invention relates to improvements ... which ... have as their object to provide a fire-arm ... in which the parts which must be dismounted in order to thoroughly clean the fire-arm can be easily mounted and dismounted by hand.  For this purpose a sliding or otherwise movable locking bar is provided at the upper part of the firearm which enables the barrel to be easily secured or dismounted.”  The patent drawings do not show the lockwork of the gun, but give details of the barrel, slide, recoil spring, and locking bar.
