The Leue rifle from the Christies auction, lot 125, is on a completely different action: It is built on that mysterious Zella-Mehlis "trade action", late reinforced type, that I recently wrote about in "Waidmannsheil", the bulletin of the GGCA. Apparently by July 1935 W.Kartscher, the then owner of the H.Leue & Co. company, had stopped to use that "Leue" action and used a then standard "trade" action instead. The inside of these actions is completely different from the Leue design, in fact, the only things they have in common are a falling block and an underlever. The Z-M trade action has swinging hammer and mainspring mounted inside the block, and the block is moved by an arm of the lever. The photos show another such trade action, bought in by Greifelt, Suhl from the unknown Zella-Mehlis maker, proofed in Z-M in 1936.




Above I referred to the Leue rifle owned by Mr.Hummel, but where is that other scoped rifle you posted?
