Alois Mogele, Mannheim

I bought a rifle with this name engraved on the barrel, I am presuming this is a retailer and not a maker? I am not finding much of anything on it. All the other rifles I was able to find where falling block Schützen types. This particular rifle is built on an 1893 Steyr action converted to single shot with DST and claw mounts.
