Re: Need Help ID'ing shotgun barn find

Of the two bolt action single shots,,the top one looks like one of the 'GECO' labeled 22 rifles. Though usually sold as various Models as 1919, 1922, '27. ect by some dealers now,,I don't know if those are actualy the original designations or not. Seems I saw an orig ad reprduced in a publication for these as a '1919' though.

The little rifles in the same configurations are seen w/ J.G Anschutz markings on them as well as other makers.
GECO wasn't a mfg'r anyway AFAIK, just a retailer.

They usually sell for around $150 in the NE USA,,if they're in very nice condition.
There are some DST equipted, checkered stocks, better sights, ect. They get more money.
.22RF, .22RF SmoothBore, 6mmRF are all common calibers.

The bottom may be a Bayard or other inexpensive Belgian s/shot rifle from the same time as the shotguns. Usually a .22rf as well

Light scattered surface rust. Will clean to 'Excellent'..
