Hi I am new here I am not...yet...a collector but I got this gun at an auction in an impulse...It happens.
It is unused and modern. It has a signature. I would like to know more about the gun and maker.
Thanks for the help.

That's a very nice pistol from what I can see, gomask. Can't help with ID but can say "welcome to the forum".

Thank you Hanshi.
The pistol has silver or nickel silver inlay.
It seems nice to me why is is amateurish?

Basically it's a nice pistol. But from my view point it's the finish an engraving...that shows as a starting builder's first gun or two...imho

Oh, it ain't that bad, a few architectural problems , but nothing horrible. I'd have to wear sunglasses to shoot it with all that shiny german silver.....

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Looks like a nice shooter. Shoot it and enjoy it and study for a while. Look at originals from whence that design came and eventually you'll get a fuller understanding of what we mean in these comments.
Like women, guns aren't as simple as they might appear.

I sent you a PM.
Also if you'll tell us where you are (could put that in your profile) or where you expect the gun originated by town/state/region/province/county/township...etc. then folks might better sort out the initials.
