Hi. A web site is extremely unlikely. Whoever made it is very likely long gone. Why do you think it's about 90 years old? Grandpa's age? 90 years might be short by several years. 90 years ago was 1918. Almost would be in the 1920's. There were all kinds of small firearms makers all over Germany prior to W.W. I. Most were gone after W.W. I, if not long before.
Mind you, a 9mm rifle won't likely be a 9mm Parabellum. There were lots of 9mm cartridges, including rimfires.
"...st mg..." Is that all there is? Is the 18 and the 36 separated or together? Any other markings? Mind you, it's not an 1836 cartridge firearm. There were no cartridges then.
Don't be too discouraged though. The knowledge about obscure firearms of some of the other guys here is truly astounding. Any chance of posting a picture?

We're definitely going to need to see some pictures of this thing to have even a chance of identifying it; there have been smooth-bore 9mm "garden guns" and Flobert "parlour guns" made since the turn of the century, and 9.3mm Mauser is a fairly common hunting calibre in Europe, but without any more information to go on, all we can really do is guess at what it might be.

They were primarily sold on the European side of the pond, and were sometimes called a "Garden Rifle". It shoots a shot shell used on pests etc.

I agree, it sounds like a Flobert, or at least that's what it most likely is.

Something like this, yes?

Wow, the only 9mm rifle I've ever heard of (besides modern semi-automatics) is the Spanish Destroyer Carbine.

I had no idea. Quite a wealth of knowledge here on the high road

I once greatly admired a Haenel "Mauser" (really an '88 action with flush magazine) in 9x57.
I never could figure out what it would do for me, so I did not buy it.

"Bolt action 9mm rifle" can mean many things.

 

[DWARREN123]

Is it a smooth bore, i.e. 9mm shotgun?

 

[Mp7]

must be 9mm "Flobert".

The pop up around here all the time.

I don't think it is a Flobert. "st mg" means "stahl mantel geschoss" or "steel jacket bullet", part of the German proof mark for high-power rifles.
