Detectives have revealed new information about the weapon and ammunition used to kill a banker on his doorstep almost nine years ago as they made a fresh plea for help.
Police hope the details will jog memories about the murder of Alistair Wilson, 30, from Nairn in the north of Scotland.
The father-of-two was gunned down at his home on Sunday November 28, 2004, sparking a major manhunt.
The gun is a Haenel Suhl Model 1 Schmeisser patent handgun, manufactured between 1920 and 1945 at a factory in Germany, Police Scotland said.
The ammunition is .25 calibre made by Sellier and Bellot between 1983 and 1993 in what is now the Czech Republic.
Council workers found the small gun on December 8, 2004, in a drain in the coastal town, about 16 miles east of Inverness.
Detective Superintendent Malcolm Stewart said: "Alistair's loved ones are still grieving for his loss and they deserve answers. They deserve justice. We cannot lose sight of that and we are determined to get it for them.
"Our investigation remains firmly open. As with all long-running cases, it is good practice to periodically take a fresh look at the evidence and identify any new opportunities or lines of inquiry.
The ammunition is .25 calibre made between 1983 and 1993 "That is why the public appeal for information is so important and, in particular, why we have released pictures and details of the murder weapon."
About 30 officers, led by Mr Stewart, are working on the case. They hope to hear from anyone who recognises the weapon or thinks they may know anything about it.
"No matter how small or insignificant it may seem, please let myself and the inquiry team make that assessment. It may be that it is the vital piece of information we are looking for," Mr Stewart said.
"This type of event is very rare in a town like Nairn and has attracted considerable interest over the course of the investigation.
"We need to keep an open mind and it is important that we don't rule anything in or out, particularly when there is a real chance this could put anyone with genuine, relevant information off of coming forward."
Mr Wilson, known to his family and friends as Al, was with his sons on the evening of his murder. The doorbell rang and his wife, Veronica Wilson, went to the door and saw a stocky man wearing a baseball cap and holding an envelope.
He asked for Mr Wilson who went to the door and was then shot.
Mr Wilson was taken to hospital in Inverness but was later pronounced dead.
