Need help IDing an old German target pistol!

I’m trying to find out about this old German bolt action, 22LR target pistol for a friend of mine. Below are the pictures. He acquired it in the 1960s and has never been able to identify it. It appears to be from 1937. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This is a single shot .22lr bolt action pistol produced by Friedrich Langenhan in 1937. They were located in the twin cities of Zella-Mehlis in Germany in the region of Thuringia. They were a very old Company like Walther and produced weapons and parts for the War efforts and police. It is strictly a “Scheibenpistole” (Target pistol). It has an eleven inch barrel and were very accurate. Not many parts are available anymore.
