Somebody trying to sell a reproduction of an original manual apparently never found a buyer. You might contact them.

This site has a few of the pages, including the exploded diagram of the pistol, but everything is in French of course.

They are fine pistols by all accounts. A similar gun might be the Britarms target 22. There is an outfit in NE somewhere that specializes in target pistols esp. Hammerlis. They also (used to) sell other serious target pistols. A search on Hammerli might turn up the name.
