Thank you Guy, that's a very kind offer. Would you have a quick look a lot 298 for me please...which is described as a .22 cal Gem. It looks like a Diana 3L type Gem (dollshead) which was most probably made by Freidrich Langenham, .22 cal Gems are rare and I just wondered if...

1) is it actually .22?
2) if so, is it rifled?
3) if smoothbore,, does it have any proofing marks? (could be a combo)
4) General condition...is it knackered, is the dollshead catch loose/ill fitting?...(could be if the little return spring underneath is missing or broken, but that's not a big deal)

Cheers,
Dave

Nice offer, Guy.

Could you find out if this pistol was the actual Walther used by James Bond, please?

i agee been 3 times. I think they must dig them out of the ground, they dont list the faults, or show how much rust is on them .Total rubbish gun action ,thats only my opinion and you may find what your looking for .
