This pistol was designed by Udo Ansch\u00fctz (ZellaMehlis, Germany) in ca. 1912 and is the model TRIUMPH<\/em>, which looks very similar in design and appearance to the Model VENUS <\/em>by Oscar Will (Zella Mehlis, Germany) and was probably made as a direct competitor. Both models have a distinctive large loading lever on the right hand side of the frame, which operates the Peabody-Martini tilting-block system. It was first marketed in the AKAH <\/em>catalog of 1913\/14, but was later sold by several other companies. It was discontinued in the AKAH <\/em>by ca. 1918.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rear sights of the TRIUMPH <\/em>are positioned at the beginning of the barrel whereas the sights on the VENUS <\/em>are at the beginning of the frame. Our pistol on the right has several commemorative brass plates on the fore-end of the pistol. On the right hand side of the front end we see a small brass name plate with the name of Hermann Kroth<\/em>. He was either the seller or the previous owner of this marvelous pistol.
