An unmarked, handmade Chinese semi-automatic pistol, produced between China’s “Warlord Era” (1920’s) up to the Japanese invasion and World War II.Desperate for arms during this chaotic period, many semi-automatic pistols or the same design were produced by cottage industry; being built in peoples garages, attics, homes, and in small workshops. Quality varies as many where handmade with simple tools and whatever materials were lying around. While most of these pistols seem to share a common design, no two are exactly the same and each has unique characteristics. -- source link
