This is an original example of the Model 2 Tell air rifle by the German manufacturer Oscar Will (see page 204 of Hiller’s book ‘The Collectors Guide To Air Rifles’) . It has its original undamaged wood stock with pistol grip which has chequered grip panels at the pistol grip (the model 1 had a straight hand stock). One side of the shoulder stock is inlaid with a brass disc which has foliate decoration. The blued metal work has been re-finished to a good standard at some point in its life. Its 17 ½” 2 stage barrel has a near mint, smooth bore, clean and bright. It has a blade fore sight and ‘v’ notch plate rear sight. It measures 39 ¾” overall. The rifle has an adjustable trigger and steel butt plate. The top of the barrel is faintly signed ‘Tell’. The underside of the barrel is numbered ‘1547’ & the underside of the cylinder has matching number. The rifle’s loading and firing actions work crisply. The price for this rare air rifle includes UK delivery. Sn 22649
