Is this a wwii trainer of some sort?

Guys, trying to help a friend. What does she have here? Looks like a 22 rimfire military trainer of some sort. Thanks in advance for your help with the ID!

I'm no expert on this subject. But it's a trainer made prior to WW2. My guess is prior to 1936 because the company that made it was of Jewish ownership, I think. I do know for a fact that the rifle left in the orginal stock is pretty valuable. I don't know what a fair price for it would be though.

Have you tried going to www.gunboards.com their forum and posted it the German collector's thread?

Thanks Dave, I'll try that site.

Wow! The "SS" insignia being printed on it is pretty cool!

BTW, the "RF" stands for "Reichsfurer". That baby may be worth some cake!

The brand is a simsonerek made in Suhl, I think they were still in business until the 70's, at one time they made very expensive and accurate target 22's. The ss stamps I dont realy think fit, as I dont see a Wafenampt anywhere on the gun. It does appear to be a military trainer as it resembles a mauser 98. I would contact member Candyman, and possibly post on SurplusRifleForums.com.

Boy, did I misread that topic. I thought it said a 'Wii trainer'... I like this one better! Now if Wii would only make controllers like that!

I never even thought about that possibly being an SS symbol. What do you guys think a ball park value would be? Finish is so so but chamber and bore look excellent.

When you post on www.gunboards.com post a link please. I'd like to know more about it as well.
