This video from Forgotten Weapons showcases the extremely rare clip for the 1896 Bittner Repeating Pistol. While the presenter has previously covered the manually repeating action of the pistol itself, this is the first time they have acquired and can demonstrate the original clips. The focus is on this specific, seldom-seen accessory for a historical firearm.
This video showcases the 1896 Bittner, a manually operated Austrian pistol designed by Gustav Bittner. Praised for its aesthetic appeal and described as one of the last of its kind before the rise of successful self-loading pistols like the C96 Mauser, the Bittner was produced in limited numbers (estimated up to 500) exclusively for the civilian market. The video clarifies that markings on the barrel are Vienna proof house sequential numbers, not serial numbers, which are internally located. The Bittner represents a unique piece of firearm history, bridging the gap between older designs and the dawn of modern semi-automatic pistols.
