Title: Can anyone identify this air gun?
Post by: Joshua on May 01, 2015, 01:53:23 AM

I know little about it...

It's a break barrel with lever pump in the stock.  Octoganal barrel I believe in .22.

Under the barrel is stamped 835s I believe.

Here's a link to a picture, sorry file size too large.

 It appears to be a 'Tell' rifle.
 
Look in this thread on the yellow forum-

  Looks like a dead ringer for your rifle pictured in the second post.

After doing some research I've found out it's a type of "buglespanner" zimmerstutzen...or some such.  Indeed a German/tyrolean parlor gun.  Used to shoot dart at close range targets.

Pretty neat!
