The idea that the rifle was assembled from earlier obsolete parts would account for the lack of a serial number and maker's name. And speaking of engraving, it's a peculiar mixture. Amongst the foliage is a rabbit, a dog, a duck, and a deer. I like possibility of a first-rate barrel specialist. Workmanship throughout is very good. The fit and finish are flawless.

Bill,
Guns made "for the trade" often didn't have the marketer's name and serial number added. I wouldn't give much significance to that. To help me with a similar gun, can you describe or show what makes the extractor work?

Mike, the extractor works off a fixed arm at the rear of the forearm iron just ahead of the knuckle. I hope this helps. Let me know. Regards, Bill

What else would you expect from a Lindner Gesteck(Parts Kit) with Schlegelmilch knitting the tubes & possibly doing the rifle work?? Do not forget that times were difficult during The First Major World Disagreement of the 20th Century in Europe and things were going to get worse. Serbus, Raimey rse

I seem to recall that Robert Schlegelmilch of Meiningen departed this Life in 1924? This fact coupled with the loss of many mechanics in the First Great Disagreement in Europe forced mechanization to be engaged. And the likes of the Boys Kelber fully embraced mechanization although they divorced in 1927 I think & both went their separate ways never to look back. But Robert Schlegelmilch just had to be a descendent of Kaspar Schlegelmilch of Suhl, master tube mechanic who made tubes for luxury weapons and began rolling his own in 1818. Probably the longest running tube makers. But all this mechanization just took some Soul away from the firearm.
Serbus,

Bill,
There is no photo of the forearm iron, to you think you could send one to Raimey for posting? The similar rifle in question has a spring installed which not only doesn't seem original, it doesn't work with fired cases. What you described seems to be positive extraction.
