Identification request - JGA Anschütz - unknow

That cocking arm made of a round piece of steel reminded me of one I have ...
It is my "KRIEGHOFF" air rifle!

Frank, thank you for your hint

Looks almost the same apart from the trigger & checkering on the stock.

Yes! Indeed they looks similar.

Both manufacturers (Anschütz and Krieghoff) are based in Ulm, Germany. So it seems like both air rifles were produced in the same period.

So maybe Krieghoff made this rifle for Anschütz? Or vice versa?
What do you think?

[landymick]

I'd guess at it being the Krieghoff made for Anschutz as production kicked off again in the 50's whereas in the 30's & 40's they were doing more trading than making i believe.

[frakor]

Thats exactly what I think, Krieghoff made them under their own name and produced for Anschutz in those early years after the war.
Numbers made must have been very low, because Krieghoff was allowed to make fire arms again, very soon after the restart.
All this can be seen in this artikel, last page refurs to the airguns:
