RESERVED. RESERVED. An "ORIGINAL" Model 50E .22 Air Rifle AI 702 - AI 702
A German ''Original'' model 50E .22 cal. underlever action air rifle, with 'Tap Loader', adjustable V and bead sight, no serial number, fitted with unmarked plain wooden stock and plastic butt plate. The rifle is 45 inches overall, shrouded front sight, adjustable rear sight and three quarter length stock, 45 " long. The model 50 is an underlever spring-piston air rifle that came in both .177 and .22 calibres, with the .22 not being as common, since the 50 was seen as a target gun and Europeans were already using .177 calibres for that. Maybe .22 was a nod toward marketing Americans, with whom the larger calibre was much more favoured. The 50e was made between 1952 and 1965. The rifle retains around 50%of its original blueing. The butt plate and trigger guard have age related marks. Made in Germany and ‘Original Mod 50e’ is marked to the cylinder.The rifle cocks, loads and fires with a nice tight action.
