I was offered the opportunity to purchase a very fine looking and shooting .22 target pistol for match competition. On the barrel is inscribed: "TT-Olympia Pistole Cal. 22 L.R." On the bottom of the flat tip of the barrel is "N.A. Co. Ridgefield, NJ. There is a matched set of serial numbers on the slide and receiver "5224". The gun is a semi-auto with a 8 round clip. The grips are chestnut with checkering on the back and front. The barrel is fixed with grooves cut for a weaver-type scope mount. It is blued. There is a weight mounted below the barrel and in front of the trigger guard which actually wraps around the bottom of the guard for balance. Sights are rudimentary. The trigger feels around 4lbs or slightly less with no slop. It shoots very well. Finally, there is an emblem etched into the slide which looks like a helmut from some suit of armour.
I'd like to know a little more about this weapon. Can any of you identify it? It is strictly for competition target shooting.

Any info will be greatly appreciated.
