POTD: German Schlegelmilch Prototype Repeater Pistol

Check out today’s Photo Of The Day – a handgun so wild, you’d swear it was cooked up by AI! But nope, this beauty is the real deal, set to hit the auction block at the Rock Island Premier Firearms Auction in August 2025. Crafted by the legendary Louis Schlegelmilch around 1891, this Imperial German prototype pistol isn’t just a looker. It’s got a quirky mechanism too – an internal magazine-fed manual repeater with a side-moving breech block that kicks into action when you cock the hammer. Oh, and did I mention the handy cleaning rod/screwdriver chilling on the left side of the frame? This piece is a must-see for any gun enthusiast!
