I'm gonna try this again here......I have come into possession of a friend's 22 rifle, an Austrian-made single-shot bolt action affair marked "Mauserlein". If I were better at posting pics, I'd add them--but my computer skills are at the early 19th Century level.
I am seeking information on this little critter, and about all I've run across so far is the generic description posted in the title line above. I've hit Rimfire Central with this same question, and the silence was deafening. Web searches are similarly unproductive. If someone could point me in the direction of an information source, I would greatly appreciate it. The rifle's owner wants to sell it, but I have no idea of its value (if any). For all I know, it could have an esoteric coterie of collectors in the Alpine fastnesses of Austria that would pay handsomely for just this piece......or it could be two clicks to the right of "tomato stake" on the scale of net worth.
The first-year Marlin Model 39 and the Winchester Model 67 that came with this curio are still around, too. I may grab the M-67 and have the foggy steel-tube 3/4" Weaver 4X scope atop it rebuilt, but the little Marlin is out of my league price-wise. Beside that, I already have a 39A that shoots superbly, and if I poured substantial dollars into a 22 RIFLE THAT I ALREADY HAVE A WORKING EXAMPLE OF--Marie would skin me. Emphasis was Marie's.
Like I say--any info help would be appreciated. Thank you!
