As shown on the top of the tube it was a Tellbüchse II, which was fitted with the Winchester 0.22" short rim(rand)fire at 50m, but I'm curious if the side-lever is original or a later refit? A Tellbüchse II converted to a Tellbüchse IV as per the "Crown" over "R". I'd still do a wax cast to verify the 0.32" Winchester(centralfire), which was the Tellbüchse IV with sights at 80 and 125m. It was advertised as a chickenhouse longarm that would neutralize varmints that had a fancy for chicken. Is there a rear sight and what type safety does it have? I don't see the typical wing type. If you could provide the serial number, a stab could be made at a date when a serial number was issued(pre-1910 & I'd guess 1900-1907??) Have any yard birds, do you? Kind Regards, Raimey rse |
