My theory on Rifles like yours badged Eusta, Hoffman and possibly Burgo as well, were made by HW for large German retailers who wished to use a propriety name to pass the products off as theirs.

Many Originals were rebadged for sale in the States and Crosmans were rebadged for sale by the likes of Sears Roebuck.

Its only my theory and could well be absolute c**p. Someone on here Garvin or Fraktor perhaps could offer more info?

By the way thats a cracking 35E. The quality of HW's of the 70's and 80's is beyond question. I think the woodwork began to loose its quailty towards the end of the 80's.
