I anticipated a horrible contest that would end in a tie between JYD and dolk......
Oh, come on-I'm talking about hideout pistols.
I never knew about these rifles before seeing wolfstein's post; they are a neat little .22! I'll be on the lookut for them in the future.
Why wouldn't there be a Chicago, Germany? There's a Berlin, Illinois, as well as New Berlin, Ill.

I'm a thinkin it says barrel was made in Germany, put in gun in Chicago........I want in on that hideout pistol contest. Mine, a single.22 derringer, all it says on it is "Germany"

If I had a hideout pistol would I tell you about it? Probably not, then it wouldn't be a surprise.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

So let me get this straight. You been selling red ass salve and was the top salesman and won the grand prize? A German bolt action 22 from Chicago? Is that what you're saying? [emoji14]
That's the way it would have worked back in the 50's......You sell enough salve door to door and win a prize, back then a boy's .22 rifle...Bob Dylan wrote "these times they are a changing". Imagine if a company today tried to get a boy ,or girl, to sell their product so they could win a rifle??????? Uh, lawsuit? When I bought this'n it had been sittin in a closet for 40 yrs. Had a pretty good coat of rust, and no front sight. A Canadian dime fit the slot for the sight perfectly, and so using Smoky Mtn. technology the little feller now has a front sight again and is real close to original again......I'm hoping mine is the only one left in the USA with a German barrel......$$$$$$$$$ SBP
