Well, the board is either fixed, or it's going to run terribly. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I'm at my technical limit right now.

Unknown German pistol
My coworker has a pistol that we can't make heads or tails of. We think it's a German pistol that's break action that apparently takes a 17 calibre round (centerfire by the looks of it. Any ideas?

Looks similar to a Buchel Luna Olympic Free Pistol:

Admittedly, it's a bit different, but could be a different design for one year, or could be by another manufacturer. Could even be a sport model sold to the public as an "Olympic" pistol, but I think searching for old German Olympic pistols should set you on the right track.

Re: Unknown German pistol
Just a dumb question how do you think it may be German.. Any markings at all.. What I find amazing about this style of single shot target pistol is how many makes and flavors they made, and how unmarked many are...

Re: Unknown German pistol
Perhaps it's a schuetzen pistol. They use them in German bars similar to the way we throw darts.
Here is a picture of one of the rounds next to a .22LR. It's nothing more than a .177 lead BB over a primer. - Bill
