Shortly after the first World War the Rheinische Metallwaren- und Maschinenfabrik in Düsseldorf developed a new pistol in the cal.7.65 and let it patent in 1920.
The patent refers to the bipartite receiver.
The production numbers were attached to the numbers of the Dreyse 07 production and started approximately at #251000. Four different versions from these weapons are produced , only being different in small things.
The model 2 is represented, that shows an open barrel support .
The highest watched serial number is 263190. The total production is about 12000 pieces only.
These weapons were built up to the highlight of the inflation in 1923.
The company Rheinmetall ended its pistol production for ever with that.
Please note the relative similarity to the Ortgies pistols.
To take the weapon down, one must fix the slide with the safety lever in an open position.
Under pressure on the trigger one then screws out the back part of the slide counterclockwise.
According to statements of contemporary witnesses some of these weapons shall have been carried by naval officers.
We still are looking for corresponding documents.
Note the mint condition.
