Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Unique Model 52 is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by D’Armes Des Pyrénées, located in Hendaye, France. Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, it features a 3¾-inch barrel, a blued finish, and synthetic grips, offering a sleek and compact design suitable for target shooting or small game hunting. The pistol is equipped with a blade front sight and a U-notch rear sight, allowing for reasonable accuracy given its intended use. Its .22 LR caliber and lightweight design make it a manageable firearm for a range of users, from beginners to experienced marksmen. Produced between 1952 and 1955, the Unique Model 52 had a notably short production run, which adds a degree of rarity and collector interest to surviving examples. With serial number 467900, this particular piece represents a slice of post-war European firearm design, showcasing the craftsmanship of mid-20th-century French arms manufacturing. Though not widely known outside of collector circles, the Model 52 stands as a fine example of practical, no-frills engineering from a manufacturer that built a solid reputation for small-caliber handguns.
