    According to WHB Smith in his book Gas ,Air and Spring guns of the World.

    The Bonna was a Military Style Trainer, similar to the Haenel Sport Modell 33.It was a fully stocked model which operated by lifting and drawing back a bolt. There were at least two sizes available with different magazine capacities, and the gun fires a 4.40mm precision steel ball. Apparently you could either have a 75 shot model or a 100 shot model. He goes on to say that Power was low and range was limited.
    I would think it was possibly of German Manufacture, however I don't know that for sure.Smith did not state what the dates of Manufacture were.

    All the best
