Cased Bittner repeating pistol model 1893
Sold in auction (March 2014) for $20,000.00

SN 192. One of the most recognizable repeating pistols, whose production has been estimated at 3000 guns. This outstanding example has a 6” bbl with a fixed front sight. The fire blued rear sight is a cursor mounted on a ramp marked in three gradations from 50-150. The top of the chamber is marked with the eagle/3 Weipert proof mark while the right side of the frame is stamped “PATENT BITTNER” over an encircled logo containing an intertwined “GB” surmounting a “W” (Gustav Bittner, Weipert). This particular example is marked 2142.97 under the barrel, indicating that it was the 2142nd pistol proofed in the Weipert Proof House in 1897. The serial number, marked internally, was recorded as 192 by Dr. Sturgess. As true for all Bittners, the barrel is browned while the frame, sideplate, finger lever, safety and bolt cap are color case hardened. The bolt is in the white. Forend and grips are nicely checkered with blunted points as typical for this gun. Cased with full accessories in wood framed, black leather clad, green baize lined factory case with original screwdriver, brass cleaning rod/rush and grease bottle (part full). PROVENANCE: Ex-Visser Collection, Collection of Dr. Geoffrey Sturgess, pictured “Vom Ursprung der Selbstladepistole”, page 128. CONDITION: The barrel contains 98% of its original browned finish. The untouched case hardening still retains its vivid colors under a lacquered coating with only minimal sharp edge wear and fading of the backstrap. Bright in-the white bolt and extractor show no evidence of cleaning. Original forend and grips with slight oil darkening and a few minor handling dings. A tiny chip is missing from the upper front corner of the right grip panel. Generally bright bore with strong rifling, showing corrosion in the grooves. Perfect mechanics. Excellent orig case with minor scuffs and leather losses limited to edges and corners. Lid liner with oil-stained impression of gun and accessories. The green felt is in similar condition, a small loss where in contact with the rear sight. Excellent orig oil bottle; as-new screwdriver, with fire blued shaft, excellent orig cleaning rod. No ammunition charger.
