IMHO this rifle was chambered originally for the obsolete .22 Winchester Centerfire blackpowder/lead bullet load. "Rand" only means "rimmed", "rimfire" is "Randfeuer". But this is easy to check: Was the firing pin altered from rim- to centerfire? The .22 WCF case was later called 5.6x35R Vierling in Germany and loaded with smokeless powder and jacketed bullets up to a 40gr bullet @ 2600fps load.
That may very well be your opinion but in all the adverts from the same period I've seen the Tell II was a rimfire and the Tell III was a centralfire. The one in question is stamped a II as well as rimfire so either it was miss-stamped or it was as it is stamped.
I'm confused on the varmit/fox probing the hen house. I don't know if you've hunted many fox, but they are a wiley lot and the 0.32" WCF would fit the bill. My Dad's grandfather used a small frame Remington Rolling Block to shoot hogs in the fall and neutralize any threat to the farm. I wish I had be fortunate to acquire it but it wasn't so but I do have a larger frame version.
