They originated as a trapper's killing gun for fur-bearers. Close, quiet, efficient, without damage to the pelt. They were rather crude, but as accurate as most shooters could hold, and they developed into a respected little "free-pistol" olympic style low budget target gun. The literature says that originally they were available in .22 Hornet, though I have never come across one. The history of importation is rather sparse, with some coming in through Canada. Apparently Australia and Europe received a few. When one appears at auction, prices rise far beyond their utilitarian roots. I would love to find one in Hornet, possibly barreling it in 270 REN.
I just purchased a Model 65. It's very similar to what you have except there is an actual traditional groved trigger, the back of the bolt is round with checkering around the end with a flat spot with a red dot that indicates it's cocked, cross bolt safety and the grip is a little different but still a fairly large target grip. I'm writing this as I clean and oil it to make it ready to shoot tomorrow. No manual with it but I pretty much figured it out, very basic but well made. I paid $300 out the door which I thought was not bad considering the PRICES of a lot of other BIG BOY TOYS. I thought it was very interesting and Czechoslovakia makes GOOD STUFF (CZ & BRNO) to name a couple GREAT ONES. I LOVE MY 22lrs, that's another reason why I got it. I got quite a few of 22lrs single shot rifles but this is the FIRST PISTOL single shot.😉👍😁. I'm anxious to check out how ACCURATE IT IS.😁👍
