Lot Details
The Acvoke was patented in 1946, although it was largely based on the German Tell II air pistol. A distinctive feature that the Acvoke borrowed from the Tell II was the innovative trigger guard, which was hinged so that it folded when the pistol was broken. When broken, the pellet was lodged in the breech end of the barrel. The Acvoke was rather popular in the late 40's and early 50's because of its cheap price and very small, sleek design. LABELLED '.... HAS DIFFICULTY IN COCKING'.
