I can't help at all but someone on this forum cam i bet. It looks like Ferlach scroll and engraving to me...much like a Sodia.
 
At first glance it looks like a pre war build off a military action. Most likely built by a German gunsmith.

Do you have a close up of the sides of the action?
 
I hope you are kidding about putting it up for sale. First aa couple of questions. Are you a hunter or collector of fine arms?

MS,
I am a hunter, but this rifle will just be in my safe forever, will not hunt with it at all, don't want to damage it.
And the people making offers on it, is crazy, i know its worth money, not peanuts, or i can be wrong.
 
its good that you are trying to find more info on it
you are the seller, its your responsibility to know the history or any other info on the gun to make it worth more, or worth xxx value

if you do not then it is worth what someone is prepared to pay for it

i personally like to use my guns, equipment, anything actually, even if its expensive i dont personally see how something sitting n a safe can give you joy, but thats me.

Defnitly Tally-Ho, someone else can have the fun with the rifle, i do have my .300Mag H&H, and have a lot of kills with it.
 
I would like to buy it ... I am Austrian and collect German guns ... PM me

If you are not selling the gun, why did you post it in the classifieds section?

There are much better sections of this forum for questions.

But appreciate your feedband advise.

I am not an expert, but it could be a Zivilmauser rifle with a 3/4 stock African Type in a high quality version. If that is the case, there are not that many and are highly desirable by collectors.

The same style also existed for the Carabine Rival from Manufrance, but the name RIVAL should be written on the receiver and I only know in this version rifles caliber 10,75x68.

Thanks for all of the feedback given so far, here is the back story, so if you work on South African Rand, one guy said R15K,another said R20k,R35k.

My opnion from the start was , its a special rifle, and its for a collector, its should me worth more.

I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.

Hello,
I might be able to help you out depending on how many you need. I could probably spare 50-75 .285g A-Frames. They are factory pulls that look like new. Let me know if you are still looking,
Thanks,
Gary
