Hello all,
I would really appreciate and thoughts/opinions/advice on this gun that was recently inherited by a friend. I understand it to be a Waffenfabrik Walther Zella-Mehlis Thuringen (Sportmodell) .22. I believe it is also marked "Meisterbüchse".
My understanding is that there were multiple variations, models and levels and I am curious to learn more. I assume the gun is mid-late 1930s.
Additionally, if anyone has a guess of valuation, that would interesting as well. The context of this inquiry is to learn more and then eventually (likely) find a good home for this gun so that it does not sit in a closet for any longer.
I apologize in advance for the photos, better photos can be obtained. Thank you for your perspectives.
