All four known Schlegelmilch rifles are in 8x57I, the most up to date cartridge in Germany 1893.
Two sporting rifles with 63.5 cm = 25" barrels, serial numbers 1 and 2, and a carbine with 48 cm = 19" barrel, #3, from the Kaiser's collection were described in "Der Waffenschmied No.17", still available from the GGCA bookstore. A fourth surfaced in Germany, a carbine with 45 cm = 18" barrel, serial # 2 too. It was described by Wirnsberger in DWJ 12/2003.
Louis Schlegelmilch had four patents covering features of his action, DRP 75559, 76257, 76650 and 78545. The most important here is DRP 78545 for a "Gewehr - Cylinderverschluss, bei welchem letzterer (unter Fortfall der Gewehrhülse) auf einer Schiene gleitet." = a rifle bolt, which (without a tubular receiver) slides on rails. You may find it here:

Note that not only the Mauser 66 and the Cogswell & Harrison, but several ultra-modern rifles by Blaser, Merkel, Sauer & Sohn and others copy features once patented by Schlegelmilch. Some use the bolt cover sliding on rails, but many more use the bolt lockup directly into the barrel, without a receiver ring.
