Thank you Chapmen for these photos - interesting stock, and post card. Here after is also the link for an early Nagel & Menz 'Strassburg & Baden' in 8x57JR advertised on the French website Naturabuy https://www.naturabuy.fr/HEEREN-Carabine-coup-calibre-8-57-JR-item-3844275.html and auctioned for the starting price of Euro 6500 (!); I think that a similar rifle - maybe that one, was sold for much lesser some years ago in Germany and photos had been posted on the Forum.
