A guy at work showed me a small pocket-sized revolver he'd just picked up in an auction. It's the weirdest design I've ever come across and was wondering what the pool of wisdom here might have to say about it.
On the bottom of the grip frame, it says, "Omega HS 300" With a serial number, I presume, of 69102.
On the crane arm, it repeats the last three numbers "102" where you might expect to see a model designation.
On the left side of the bbl, it's rolled, "cal. .22lr". On the right side, it reads, "GERMANY".
There are three small sigils stamped above where the crane locks into the frame. One of which looks to be the number 63 inside of a shield. The other two were indecipherable in the poor lighting.
Overall, it was a neat pistol holding eight rounds of .22lr. Particularly intriguing is that the cylinder was released by pulling the ejector rod out like on a single-action pistol.
I'm curious, so it he. Anyone have any ideas on this make/model?
