    Help Required

    Was recently at a cousins funeral when another cousin asked me if i could identify the following firearm ,or its parts which apparently theyve recently been given.

    My knowledge its pretty generalised,but looking a the photos im wondering if its possibly a Pinfire type of very early french manufacture??? Gundoc ,Akaroa1and any other firearm historians your knowledge would be appreciated.

    Cheap Belgian rolling block .22 from early 1900's. They have no collector value unless in exceptionally good condition. They were widely sold in NZ and were very cheap.

    As akaroa 1 said probably worthless
    It’s ether a 22lr 25rimfire or 32 rimfire
