HEY people! I have a friend with an old german gun. he can't find any info on it? It's a 22 hornet, bolt action with clip. The gun has german writing on it. I think part of it suel, or suhl. I think it's a town. The gun has a montycarlo stock and is engraved a little. The screws are also engraved. Can any body shed some light. Thanks DES

    It is a German bolt action made in Suhl, a famous arms making area of Germany. This is all I can say from the meager information. Now I deduce, knowing German weapons, is that it was made between 1919 and 1939, has BUG or British nitro proofs, very light barrel, a flip sight and additional markings on the barrel. The .22 Hornet was very popular on the Continent during the interwar years. Without additional information, this is about the extent I can go.
