Hi friends,

the german Heym Fanclub has an new toy.
An 100 year old Heym double.

It is an great peace.
There are older Heym rifles, great ones too, but not sutch an masterpeace.

It is in 10 mm, more english-style as the modells in the 1980thys.

It has an great history, from Germany, to Russia, to Oriantal countrys, to the USA, to Germany again.
