Not really, except when I've posted a WTB for an Anschutz 9mm Flobert "Garden Gun", I invariably get messages from people offering these. Maybe 3-4X now.
Good luck with your search for info.

Groundhogger - If you are still looking for a 9MM Flobert, Prophet River has one listed in their consignment section right now.
As to the original question, there were a ton of different European made garden guns, most are of surprisingly good quality and quite accurate. Have bought and sold quite a few over the years, but never ran into the particular one being refereed to, at least that I recall.

I had one. Good simple little grouse gun.
But as it happens, someone gave me $ for it and it now hunts ptarmigan way up north.....
Id own another one for sure.

Just back from
Cleaning + stripping 80+ years worth of crude out of it. Apparently this company also made the Ortgies pistol back in the day. Nice walnut under all that "patina". Rampart lion disc inlaid in the stock.

I inherited one from my late FIL’s collection. Lot rougher shape than the rifle in the video but still functional. Now I have some background history on it. Thanks.

mine is the no frills version
No checkering or sling swivels. Read somewhere the Hitler Youth may have used these as trainers. although mine not so marked.

Hey Dean2-thanks, wish I'd checked back on this thread sooner-don't see it there. Appreciate the heads-up though!

Well that is unfortunate. It had been on there for many weeks, was still there the day I posted. Wierd that it sells all of a sudden like that.
