It is indeed the model presented in the Alfa catalogue.
Additional information is in the German book "Die Scheibenpistole" (The pistol of shooting), published in 2004. This pistol is presented on the cover, in completion of luxury.
This pistol was developed by the arms manufacturer Scharfenberg in Mehlis.
The punch "B" crowned indicates the German test (Beschuss) between 1893 and 1912. The system of the pistol was already deposited in 1892.
The "Tell" of Buechel arrived later.
