I am not sure, but I THINK that rifle is a copy of the Marlin 57M, but even if so, I don't know if any parts interchange.

Do you need the outer tube or the inner one with the spring and follower? Brownells has both, but mostly made for specific guns. If you measure the diameter and length of the tube, Brownells might be able to find one that can be fitted. If you can find one longer than you need, but of the right diameter, it should be no problem to cut and fit it.

Erma-Werke is a now deffunct (they went Bankrupt in the late 1990s) German gun manufacturer. They were know for producing high quality firearms including the Erma ESP-85 series Target Pistol (in .22 and .32) which was the creme-de-la-creme when it was produced. They also manufactured a match revolver as well. The last model produced by Erma was the SR-100 sniper rifle, which under optimal conditions has been reported as being capable of .3 MOA groups. Erma is also known for their rimfire copies of the M-1 Carbine, as well as the pump and lever action .22s. Thery have a long history, having supplied weapons to the German Forces during WWII.

A gunsmith may be able to make you a new tube if the Gun Parts Corp can't supply you with one. IIRC, Ithaca also had some rimfire rifles made for them by Erma. You want to look into possible compatibility thee too.
