Would that be Original Will, by Oskar Will of Venuswaffenwerk, Zella-Mehlis? If so, some pics here.

small picture, no description (function ok?), all parts original?


if you will sell something (good quality) you might ask yourself : Would I buy this item from my own offer I made?

If I might enquire, how much did you pay for it?

I have had a few of the " bugglespanner " type rifles in my time there were many variants of them made across Europe and even in the States, looking at the auction site and your purchase lot 153 in my opinion the other lot 152 would have been the older of the two rifles as it has the spur on the trigger guard, does your one have "original will " marked on it ? if not it will be one of the many parlour guns made, some were even marked just "original" the last one I had was purchased for £150 a couple of years ago and it was similar to the lot 152 rifle with the spurs on the trigger guard, it didn't have the "original will" markings just a series of numbers, it was probably an american made one from the late 1930's.
Great character guns that can sometimes look much older than they are, they made a rarer version with a Tyrolean stock and peep sight these always commend higher prices.
