Thanks for the patent (I think that can help). According the picture from Nic Costa's book p121 it seems that this Pickwick version was not a product by Pesser but by H. Klein & Co?

Re: Need information about RAFAL machine

Thanks a lot for your link. Yes, it seems the same type of machine but without the gun. It seems French importation of German Machines, like the Agence Française des Appareils Automatiques did.

Re: Need information about RAFAL machine

Thanks a lot for your quick and interesting answer. I missed this machine when I searched on this German website. I agree with you that it is a similar machine manufactured in Leipzig and should be German production before WW1.
I'll continue to search now in German side.
Thanks again.
