Hi I need help to identify a German icon

pump action, octagon barreled, possibly .22 . With a magazine fed from below. Looks alot like a Winchester 1890 .But I dont think the Winchester was clip fed. i will try to post pictures later. Also I understand this is a long shot.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

Is there a manufacturer name or date? Are there any other identifyable markings?

**Ariser** · 06-09-2007 01:57 AM

Thanks for replying stoggie. There are no markings visible on this firearm.

Yep

Are you sure it's even German icon

? Germans were never big on pumps. Most of their repeater .22's were either bolt actions or semi-automatics made by Walther and Mauser.

Sorry guys I do not have permission to add pictures at this time.

I am not sure if it is German icon

. The owner says a relative brought it back after W.W.II . And called it a German trench gun ?

It wouldn't be trench gun if its .22 cal.

Why not post pics and blurr out the serial number if your friend is paranoid?

Pics added....

There are proof marks visible on the right side of the frame and barrel. Closeups would help. Might or might not tell where the rifle was made, but would tell where it was tested and perhaps sold.
Savage made a .22 pump rifle with a box magazine, although I do not know that this is one of them.
