In 1873 the Simon brothers took over an old established gunmaking business named \u2018Bohrm\u00fchle\u2019 in Schmalkalden, Th\u00fcringia (Germany). In their 1924 catalog,<\/ins> the \u201cPr\u00e4zision-Scheibenpistole mit Keilblockversch<\/ins>luss\u201d<\/em>  (Precision Scheibenpistol with Keilblock breech) was introduced. It was a heavy target pistol that had both a long barrel and sighting line. The combination of high-quality materials and technical innovations made this a serious competitor for other Scheibenpistols during the 1920-30\u2019<\/del>s. The heavy barrel and overall weight of the pistol required a strong arm and was therefore<\/ins> not everybody\u2019s favorite.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1924 the Simon Brothers protected their design with the DRGM (Deutsches Reich Gebrauchsmuster)<\/em> Nr. 885180 a typical German type of patent, pending only for a period of four years. The Keil block was a vertical breech block initially introduced in the mid 1800\u2019<\/del>s for use in artillery canons, moving a wedged breech block transversely, or in our case, vertically up-and-down at the rear of the receiver. Two versions were made and it had a fixed barrel design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
