My father brought back a war souvenir from Germany in 1945. It's .22 rimfire. Scheutzen (spelling?) rifle, single shot, falling block. Octagon barrel, tang-mounted peep sight. Lotsa drop in the stock, with a "curlicue" buttplate. The operating lever is rather complex. Two triggers; one to cock and one to fire; adjustable. Not a lot of engraving, but what there is is fairly complex and quite attractive.
Proof marks, but no maker's name visible--and I haven't taken it out of the wood.
Highly accurate. My father and my uncle, after winning 10 of 11 turkey shoots, were told that they could come back but not with that gun.
Anybody have any idea what this sort of animal is worth? Roughly? "Horseback guesstimate"? I'd call it somewhere around NRA 40%-50%...
