[B knorr]

i am trying to find any info on a pistol that was my fathers, he picked it up in germany in the 60s. its a 7 shot 22 long rifle with nHm on the grip. on the bottom of the grips in the metal is mico 1412. made in germany is stamped on receiver and barrel. one more important piece of info is that it is abreak open action.

Sounds like one of the small .22 revolvers sold here prior to 1968 and often called "Saturday Night Specials". Most were made by Rohm (RG) and were of rather poor quality. Some of those were sold in Germany, but the US was the prime market so it is likely your father bought it at a PX/BX rather than on the German civilian market.

Come on guys, Google is you friend. It's a Nanno Hubenbecker revolver made in Molin, Germany. Appears it's no better than your run of the mill Rohm as far as quality. The one good thing that can be said of these guns is they did have to survive a proof round.

Arminius revolvers were pretty nice,actually.

Arminius and if single action, Hawes come to mind.

I agree. Triggers sucked and sights didn't agree with where the bullet hit (to my experience) but they seem to be as well made as a Iver Johnson or H&R.

I must've got lucky.Mine had a decent trigger,and the sights were adjustable. kinda sorta a copy of a Highway Patrolman revolver,only 8 shot,.22 magnum.I finally got rid of it when I figured out that I could get .38's for less than I was spending on .22 mags,and I could reload them!
