Established in 1949, the firm of Falkewerke in Wennigsen, Hanover originally provided maintenance to conveyor belt machinery. By 1951 they were also producing fairground gallery targets and launched a series of airguns. Based on existing designs by BSA, Diana and Haenel, these airguns were of far superior quality, but unfortunately the giants of the industry soon crushed the low output rate with volume sales and by 1958 Falkewerke went out of business. Because of the low volume of manufacture (it is believed less than 400 of the model 80 were produced for example), Falke airguns are of considerable interest to collectors today.

£100-200
One of the most over complicated air-pistols to ever have emerged from pre-war Germany, Mr Malcolm Atkins says of the Hubertus in his book 'Gats-A Guide to Junior Push In-Pop-Out Airguns'; "the Hubertus"- Or take a really simple idea and make it so much more awkward, alternatively, find a non existent problem and add lots and lots of complications." The cocking procedure for this air-pistol is as follows. First push the barrel all the way back into the receiver until it stops. Next, slide the air-chamber locking ring backwards, releasing the receiver upwards for loading, then, take a pellet or dart and load the breech, making sure the barrel does not get accidentally pushed forwards. Shut the gun and lock with the locking ring, then pull the barrel back out to its original position, taking care not to shoot yourself in the hand. Finally the pistol is now ready to fire. How anyone put up with this procedure and bought these is a miracle, but it has resulted in the little Hubertus being a rare item today.
