    Hi Mickey,

    As you rightly say, there were two versions of the Hubertus with the earlier small frame variant being much harder to find than the large frame pistol.

    Mine is 9109 and came to me without a barrel assembly. I had to make one and chose .177 as I have never seen one in .22 . I could always put one together in that calibre I suppose but the barrels are so easy to swop out, I wonder if they were ever sold as a kit with both calibres?

    There are many adverts for them in 1930s periodicals alongside the Dolla and Tell II pistols but I see many more of the Tell models compared to the Hubertus.
