No maker marked, high quality engraved European .22 caliber Parlor rifle with a unique 90 degree turning rimfire bolt that clears space to access the breech end of the barrel. Swiss in origin, Zimmerstutzen “Parlor rifles” are highly accurate short range small-bore target rifles with low muzzle velocities intended for indoor use during the winter months. They fire a small lead ball detonated by a long firing pin and priming charge. U shaped front sight with bead and adjustable rear Swiss style sight. Floral engraved nickel plated turning bolt system with brass bolt knob which when turned allows for bolt removal, manual cartridge extraction, and insertion of a new cartridge. Brass frame with floral engraving. Brass trigger guard with bow having floral engraving pattern. Front sling swivel on bottom of barrel, button rear mount in stock. Walnut fine checkered stock with raised cheekpiece and a brass buttplate with light coverage floral engraving.

Very fine, with crisp engraving overall, finely aged patina on the brass barrel, frame, trigger guard, and buttplate. Iron bolt body retains its white finish with occasional small spots of light freckling, and light wear on the rear knurling. Blued front and rear sights faded to a gray brown patina. Stock is also very fine with a small chip ahead of the toe, some light handling marks, and light checkering wear. Mechanically excellent.
