Anyone know what this Mayer & Grammelspacher patent was for?

I believe its for their first break barrel air rifle. Or at least a patent connected to it.

I think I read somewhere that early German airgun patent records are hard to track down? I may be wrong.

One of Diana’s most important early airgun patents was for their barrel locking detent which is still in use today. British patent 7218 in 1905.

Don’t know what this one is though, is it dated 1901?

Any German patent from pre WWII is difficult to trace as much of the paperwork got destroyed in the war. Added to that, the allies scrapped the system so what was left was probably thrown away or purloined to lie in other countries archives

The German language is quite descriptive so a translation of the handwriting should provide a good clue

I translated, gave no clue?

Google Translate's 'keying for tilt barrel air rifle', may mean 'lever for break barrel' air rifle?

Actually German patents are the easiest to search for online, if you have the number. I just looked this one up and you can read the full pdf here:

It looks closely similar to the one Danny refers to in the Gallery.

Literally breech/ closure mechinism for drop barrel air rifle. Dates from after their first break barrel rifle so i would say its for their barrel detent.
