Airgun Manufacturers in Zella-Mehlis Germany

[CLOGGER]

Were there any other manufacturers of airguns in Zella-Mehlis besides Tell and EM-GE?

Wasn't the Langenhan company based there?
I thought that the 'L' and 'Z' in their earlier crossed-arms trademark (pre WW1?) stood for for Langenhan and Zella-Mehlis; likewise in their later circled 'FLZ' trademark (post WW1?) the letters stood for Freidrich Langenhan Zella-Mehlis.
It would be nice to get this verified, as I now have a couple of pre-WW1 Langenhan rifles and would like to be sure of their manufacturing origins.

This should give you proof of Zella-Mehlis and Langenhan

Thanks for that, and it's a rather nice piece of artwork too.
The German youth in the foreground looks well pleased with his rifle, which looks rather like my FLZ Original V!

Was strolling around Suhl and noticed the Suhl Waffenmuseum. Not much of a website but if you decide to make a trip to the area, might be worth a stop.

I visited that one 23 years ago. Unless it has changed you've seen it all in less than an hour and there were no airguns at that time present. All the guns listed on the website were there.
