    I've got a Hungarian LG522, Which I bought from a junk shop about 25 years ago. I've "googled" pictures of a Relum Telly.... but mine has very little resemblence to a "Telly". Were there varied models made?

    Just "googled" a bit more....... Seems my gun is an LG522, but with what seems to be an LG24 stock.

    Do you have an image of yours??

    Some info that I came upon while searching for details and identity of what turns out to be a FEG 877. The only stamp is I.D LP22 and the serial number with the grooved stock.
    I like them, they are solid and functional.

    Relum Jelly LP 25 (or Telly with a German T on the disk that is/was on the stock).
    One of a number of break barrels that were made for Relum by the Hungarian FEG armaments factory.
    They also made a a smaller break barrel, the 822 LP23 0.22” and 877 LP22 .0.177”.
    In the 70s these models were dropped for a new range of guns, the 422 (Taurus), 522 (Rapide) and 527 (Zephyr), the last of which is still in production.

    Relum (Muller) also imported guns form other E European countries and relabeled them.

    The actual gun is exactly like the metal in your photo. It is stamped: LG522 made in Hungary. There is another serial type number: 10(or C)252 The trigger guard is identical. Iron sights are long-gone Im afraid.
    On the photo of the collection of guns, the stock is very similar to the second one down. However, instead of the end of the fore-grip being at right angles to the cocking arm, mine is raked-backward (not forward).
    It is of an unusual woodgrain(stained quite dark). The underneath of the foregrip is very flat. No sign of a "Telly" disc indication.

    With the stock as you describe it, it sounds like you may have a Relum Taurus, which was one of the later ones.
    The South of England has 2 good things, the M1 and the A1. Both will take you to Yorkshire.

    Gonna have to stop all this googling! Found a site referring to relum Taurus spare parts.
    States the gun could also be known as a Relum Zephyr: eg..... LG 527/522 Taurus/Zephyr

    Hi Les

    I've just had a google and found this, I think it's part of I.J.'s collection.

    God knows what Relum I have.

    I'll have another look in the morning, I may even put a photo of it on here for a laugh.





    All the best Mick
