Who made it?

'Schell' is a known name in America of German origin and is most likely correct. Check out this Wikipedia entry.

BTW, those nice leather scabbards are incredible. Probably the most desirable of all Carbine accessories.

Guys,
I've known BobG for a long time.
He is spot on with his descriptions of condition.
His weakness? The man can't take pictures.
If he'll chime in with a description of condition, straps etc, would ya'll pitch in with some ball park values?

He picked it up at a recent gun show. Like most of us, sets up at a show and spends more $$ than he sells!

Appreciate any help,

In my area, and the maker does not make a difference.

Poor condition with all straps $200-$225
Good condition with all straps $300-$350
Ex+ condition with all straps $400-$500

I have seen poor condition with no straps sell for $100

Not common, but not really rare, they do show up now and then.
