That bench could do with a coat of varnish.

It's an old pew, It had a coat of clear lacquer but it faded faster than the chances of a Corbyn government.

Very strange the screws are on the opposite side as to the know Heyms and early Weihrauchs?
The number on the rifle IS a serial number though, but doesn't it have a mark behind it?
The very early ones had a gunmakers mark, know are the "Y" , "X" , ".." and a "--" on the one at the VAG.


This is the only rearsight I got that comes close in size.

Thanks for the kind offer Frank, I think (hope) I may have one sorted.

The marks on the rifle were all photographed by me, so no additional marking. I didn't know much about Heym, but it has me scratching my head in comparison to other examples; so many similarities, but not quite the same.

Well, all back together and a bit of a disappointment. 3.5 ft/lb . I also found out why Weihrauch rolled two seals in the breech block, as there's an identifiable breech leak that comes out at the joint between the breech block and the cylinder. So, apart again and an attempt to seal the breech block and cylinder joint, along the lines of the HW35 fix.
