    Probable Early FLZ Militia Rifle?

    Bought this because I thought it was a good example of a very early FLZ rifle. I don’t think any of these were marked? I’m sure there are people here that could render an opinion. The rifle is a smooth bore and is very compact, a kids gun? I read these were pre WW1 but not sure how long they were made. Really in nice shape for that age. Nickel is surprising good as is the stock and bluing. It seems to me that the same rifle appears in the Gallery that Trevor restored. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Couple contributors to the “Vintage Airgun Collecting” Facebook page confirmed it’s a FLZ. Thank goodness Facebook offers a translation of German.

    No scale but 36.5 inches long. Here it is with my full size Favoritt XX. Kind of fun probably one of the best of FLZ and one of their first? Yes .177. Wish I could date it, they sure made a ton of them.
