A Pistol To Stump The Experts......

Amazing how much it looks like one of these...with an inside out safety.

The P7 "is my jam"........as the whippersnappers say....

RayK-47 & Mrprovy called it - HAMADA.



Actual WINNER.

Partly a lucky guess. I knew that records on Hamadas were a bit lacking and that there may have been some unknown variants.

Hamada prototype.

Actual WINNER.

To say it's a "Hamada" is good, but there doesn't seem to be ANY with a grip safety - so it's not a production Type 1 or Type 2. It appears to be a prototype for a Type 1.

As of ~2004, there were only 27 known examples of the PRODUCTION guns. This is a prototype with a serial number a SINGLE DIGIT, marked on the slide and the frame. It is pretty difficult to determine value as there's not much to compare it to. There may only have been 4 or 5 made of each of five different prototypes. As of my research thus far, it only existed in a blueprint until this example surfaced......

A variation of a Japanese Yato?

Inagaki? If so that's very bird to a Japanese pistol collector.

Hamada prototype.

I would say a Hamada, but it doesn't look like they were produced with the grip safety. The serrations aren't fine enough to be a DWM.

Is that some kind of exposed hammer behind the slide?

You are on the right track

[OH UNCLE PAUL]

Clearly a Hi Point.

[Huntington Guy]

I got nuthin’

[Silent Revolver]

Don't have a clue, it's nice tho.

[bigbore44]

Grip safety and heel mag release make it interesting for sure, but don't have a clue.

[Sherm66]

Clearly an antique HK P7.

[RayK-47]

It really does look like a 1910, but a knockoff of it.

So, a Hamada?
