Hubertus pistol, what a weird mechanism

[ccdjg]

Apparently the Hubertus was preceded by the Jungson:

I think it is quite possible that the Snider may be in fact the Jungson, rebranded and distributed by J.N. Oegland.

The early history of the Hubertus, and its transition from the Jungson to the small frame and then the large frame Hubertus is very confused and needs sorting out. Even the original patent by Fritz Jung is different from the commercially made pistols, and does not have the tip-up barrel, a ball pellet being dropped down into the breech though a hole on top of the cylinder.

Interesting, John. I see the ad Brian posted says the Snider fired round shot.
