Hello everyone - Do you consider the Schall in the High Standard family? If so my brother is sending me one he just bought at a yard sale and I already have a couple of questions about it. This one is apparently nickeled or chromed - is that unusal? Also the mechanics of it are confusing. When cocked in the normal shooting orientation, it will seldom fire. However, when cocked in the upside down postion, it will always fire.

Anyway, If Schall is an appropriate manufacter for discussion here, I would like to followup with a post that includes the serial number and more specifics when I have the pistol in hand.

Thank You,

Bob

              I have a series of pictures of the pistol disasembled ready to send to whoever is interested. I forgot to mention earlier that the gun came from the Western Slope of Colorado.
