	Help, I would like to find out more info on this Martini pistol. It is a target model small bore-22 lr. It is marked Stahl and Bohler on the barrel. I know that Stahl is a type of Martini action and that Stalh made target guns up until they had went out of buisness in 1914. One person has told me the following info: Your pistol is the Olympia Model target pistol by Kommer in Zella-Mehlis. It is shown on page 112 of the Volume III Book "Alte Scheibenwaffen" by Tom Row. I thought for sure that the Kommer pistol used a lever on the side to raise and lower the breech b lock. My pistol has a lever that is part of the trigger mech, not the breech block. My breech block is raised and lowered with the lever that sticks out the bottom of the grip housing. any help is appriciated. Mike

	All of the Olympic free pistols I have ever seen were martini actions operated with a lever in the grip.

	Did any of the ones that you have seen in the past have the makers name marked on them? And were any engraved? I have only seen a couple of plain ones, and one where the side lever raised and lowered the breech block. Mike

	"Bohler" was a steel ("stahl") maker. The most well-known product in this country was "Antinit" which IIR, was supposed to be rust resistant. However, the designation would enhance the value of the gun to the prospective purchaser the same as "Krupp Stahl" or "Winchester Proof Steel" would. There were side lever as well as under lever Martini actions and both were adapted to target pistols. I would guess Martinibelgian would be the authority on who made yours.
