MAKE: Lignose
MODEL: Einhand 3A
TYPE: small frame single action semi-automatic detachable magazine cartridge pistol
COUNTRY: Germany
CALIBER: 6.35mm (25 ACP)
REMARKS: Pocket gun that has a one-hand-cocking trigger guard so that it can chamber a round with only "eine hand." Chylewski may have inspired the mechanism by designing a one hand pistol in 1919; made by S.I.G in Switzerland, it was also Sig's first pistol: Chylewski-Sig-6.35. Lignose one hands (the smaller 6-round model 2A & these 3A's) were built between the years 1921-1939 in Suhl, Germany. The sights are low profile, they're pretty accurate, and I haven't seen any reliability problems. All the little parts are serial numbered (Germans love serial numbers). Both have three "crown over N" Nitro proofs. Slide marking: AKT.-GES.LIGNOSE.BERLIN.ABTEILUNG SUHL-CAL.6,35-D.R.P.
