*Rare* c1882 Model 2 Langenhan “Dolla” .177 Pop-Out Pistol AI 742. - AI 742 The story of Langenhan begins in 1842 Germany in the town of Mehlis, Thüringen with Valentin Friedrich Langenhan (10th June 1819 – 2nd March 1886). Valentin, who at this time was 23, along with his father, Johann Gottlieb Langenhan, 51, bought a shop in which they set up their gunsmith business. Together they produced and sold various gun parts such as flintlocks, hair-set locks, guards, caps, tools and knife blades. Johann (16th May 1791 – 15th January 1883) was a master gunmaker and personally trained his son Valentin in the art. It is said that Valentin preferred to use his second name Friedrich which is frequently seen in Langenhan company literature. Perhaps this was to differentiate himself from another Valentin Langenhan who operated an iron and steel works that was also located in Mehlis. Also known as the EG 2 it also has the fame of being an authentic Eisenwerke Gaggenau product that will be at least 130 years old. The first thing to look for an authentic EG 2 is the number of pins/screws above the trigger guard. The genuine EG No 2 has three of these whereas all other versions have just two. Another easy way to tell is to look at the right hand grip screw. In the EG the screw is set in a diamond shape. Both of these features of the EG2 are clearly shown in the 1895 Eisenwerke Gaggenau catalogue. The pistol retains the majority of its nickel. It cocks and fires perfectly with a strong spring action. See page 78 of the Collectors Guide to air pistols by Dennis E. Hiller for reference. The price includes UK delivery. AI 742. £425.00 |

C1905 Variant III Langenhan “Dolla” .177 Pop-Out Pistol AI 741. - AI 741 The story of Langenhan begins in 1842 Germany in the town of Mehlis, Thüringen with Valentin Friedrich Langenhan (10th June 1819 – 2nd March 1886). Valentin, who at this time was 23, along with his father, Johann Gottlieb Langenhan, 51, bought a shop in which they set up their gunsmith business. Together they produced and sold various gun parts such as flintlocks, hair-set locks, guards, caps, tools and knife blades. Johann (16th May 1791 – 15th January 1883) was a master gunmaker and personally trained his son Valentin in the art. It is said that Valentin preferred to use his second name Friedrich which is frequently seen in Langenhan company literature. Perhaps this was to differentiate himself from another Valentin Langenhan who operated an iron and steel works that was also located in Mehlis. The third variant of the Dolla air pistol was manufactured by Eisenwerke Gaggenau. It was available in both finishes and was also called the Nr. 2. For certain this time, Langenhan also manufactured the pistol and designated it the Nr. 1 and Nr. 2 in black lacquered and nickel-plated finishes respectively. Production dates of the third variant are believed to be between 1905 and 1927 but possibly up to 1934 as discussed earlier. The pistol retains remnants of its black lacquer. It cocks and fires perfectly with a strong spring action. See page 78 of the Collectors Guide to air pistols by Dennis E. Hiller for reference. The price includes UK delivery. AI 741. £325.00 |
