Dear Modelman,
The pistol you inherited is certainly a PIEPER model. Steyr like Browning baught the licence and patent to produce the small pocket pistol designed by PIEPER in Belgium. Like Browning Steyr produced a lot of these pistol in both .25 and 32 Auto caliber.
They have been produced up to 1914, then the production has been stopped during the WWI. The production started again in 1921 to be definitively stopped in 1939.
If you go on google just type Steyr Pieper pistol and you will get a lot of information and pictures.
Regards,
Steyr Factory
