What is this gun?

[Mr. Bean]

Hi all,
I need to know what this is and when it was made. It is my fathers and I want to inherit it, but it is prohibited, and I dont have 12/6.

If I can make it an antique I may have a chance.
Thanks

I think it is a .22 or maybe .25. There is no writing under the tape.
This is my first post with pictures, hope it works

It looks like the real deal Derringer before bullets were invented. I also belive that you won't need a pal for it. Here is a link of what Marstar is selling that looks almost like it;

Ask the mods to move this to the antquie fourm for more insight on this rare find.

If you have a restricted PAL, you can take ownership of it under 12(7) inherited. Not too many know of this, but that's how I took ownership of my fathers Luger. You have to apply as a collector when you do the paperwork.

Very similar to mine. Registered as unknown. .22 rimfire.

On second look, not Quite the same, but give me a break, I just figured out pics & it gave me an excuse to post a pic!

 

[Mr. Bean]

Hey MP5K, You say registered; in what category (prohib or restricted?) Any idea as to age?

 

[mp5k]

that would be a 12/6, the bbl is very short. No idea to age or make. Sure is cool though, Huh! Havent shot it but it takes .22 shorts.

 

[Ganderite]

It is pre-1946 for sure, so he can give it to you as a 12.7

 

[broncoo]

if it is prohib and he is 12.6 get him to purchase all the cool stuff you can't legally own then you will get to inherit it all with 12.7

Not all, just pre '46 stuff.

 

[Mr. Bean]

Now that is a great idea Bronco!!
Might be going shopping in new year LOL

Not hardly, This a 22 short, so no way to call it a antique.
I have not seen one in 25, but have seen one in .32 ( rim)
These are as a rule " muff" guns- belguim, cheap and could be shot
if real brave(ie-stupid) some could be O.K. with cb caps.
I have had a few and they would be great for the 12-7 class.
