I recently came across an old Walther .22 rifle, and bought it. It has no model name or number on it. I would post pics, but I need to get a better camera.
On the receiver are:
the Walther banner
"Waffenfabrik Walther ZellaMehlis (Thur.)"
the serial number, in the 16300 range
the letter N with a crown on it
the letter B with a crown on it
the letter U with a crown on it
On the barrel are:
the word "Nitro"
the letter N with a crown on it
the letter B with a crown on it
the letter U with a crown on it
a marking of "5.4 mm"
On the bolt are:
the letter B with a crown on it
the letter U with a crown on it
no safety
The front sight is triangular, and the rear sight is adjustable from 30 - 200 (meters?). It is a single shot riffle, and the barrel is over 25" long. From this being made in the factory at Zella-Mehlis, it appears to be from before the Russians got there toward the end of WWII. It shoots very well. Any ideas from this description?
