Has anyone seen one before? I can't find anything similar. Could it be a custom job?
Apparently they designed it like that for safety reasons, so just in case you didn't read the owners manual that's engraved on the side of the cylinder and the poor German build quality should fail (as if that's ever likely to happen) and the rifle should fire whilst the underlever is being returned to it's resting position, the shooters hand is nowhere near the muzzle.
That's what I remember reading on the Doemeisters 'From the shoulder' series in one of the mags at the time

Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in
I quite like that.

Go for one before ser no. 144 as they have the 25mm piston. The 97 Century (500 made in 1999) has the same barrel set up. The MK1 was introduced in 1993!! Mach 1.5
Thanks for all the great info. I searched all thru google images but couldn't find a similar one....thats why i thought it could be a custom job! the serial number is 1444***. I f I get it at auction I will open it up. It looks like it is in pristine condition and untouched.
Some very good information up above, peeps.
