    Smile Falke 33 assistance required

    Would anyone be prepared to remove their Falke 33 end cap and post some images and dimensions?
    The current project pistol has had a rough life and is missing some components, namely the end cap and fore sight.
    Images and dimensions of the original end cap are required.
    The mainspring has been cut and is of unknown heritage so a coil count and dimensions of an original mainspring would be valued.
    The small spring that assists the barrel release is also missing; the blind hole in the barrel cradle is evident but it cannot be seen if the barrel had a nib/pin etc to contain the spring. See, we have no way of knowing if the barrel fulcrum has been altered /modified. If it is possible, a clean macro shot showing the spring in situ would be very helpful .
    Thanks all.

    These are images from my post on the AVA & Falke forums.

    They may also provide some assistance for anyone contemplating dismantling their Falke 33.

    The custom end cap.
    If someone could send clean images and dimensions of an original end cap that would aid greatly in producing another as near original as possible

    Yes I have posted there and so far Danny is the only one to have responded .
    It is beyond me but he doesn't appear inclined to strip down his boxed example to assist me

    While the Falke forum is a terrific resource, it can be reminiscent of Coronation St re-runs, in that most times days can go by without any fresh contributions

    I thought that I would reach out a bit further and try my luck on the BBS as it is well patronised and has plenty of traffic.

    James I think of it more like a fine library - where most of the patrons are connoisseurs of good literature and there is not enough text speak or (c)rap going on to appeal to the 'yoof'.

    Hopefully the BBS folk will be able to help, although the 33 is pretty scarce here.

    PS anyone who wants to see the above pics without having to view them individually can do so HERE.

    PPS I've now posted some (external) pics of the end cap on the thread mentioned above, which may be of some help, but pics of a stripped down pistol are what's really needed.

    Thanks for the understanding Danny. I shall make greater effort to practice the virtue of patience; can't promise though
