I can't help much, but here is what I have.

Voere Voehrenbach is/was a company in Germany that made sporting rifles. I can't find any reference to their making pistols, however. Also, the fact your piece is a bolt action pistol raises all kinds of flags in my head.

There have been very few bolt action pistols made anywhere; the only one that comes readily to mind is the XP-100 Remington hunting pistol made for large-caliber hunting rounds. I have the suspicion someone cut down a damaged rifle and reworked it as a pistol.

It's possible I'm wrong. Perhaps this weapon was designed as a pistol from the git-go, but the shape of the handgrip and the fact the wood extends a goodly way up the barrel lead me to believe I'm not. Do you have any more pictures of the pistol, particularly of the muzzle, front sight, right side and the back of the pistol grip?
