Wondering if anyone could give a value/info on a pair of really old looking .22s. I assume they are not worth too much. Thank you in advance.

1) Browning pump .22. It appears fully functional. Metal has worn bluing, but no rust or pitting. Stock has a severe crack in the wrist, held together with a steel ring clamp.

2) Unknown make. Top of the receiver has a Stylized "S" with Mod. 1 below it. Barrel says "Deutsche Werke - Werk Erfurt" the side of the recover says "DRP Germany" both metal and wood are worn, but rifle appears functional, no rust or pitting.

I suspect that the buttstock on the Browning is a replacement, apart from being cracked. Looks to have a lot of drop. These are nice little rifles; yours might be a project rifle, one to restore. Maybe $125.
The DW .22 was a really inexpensive rifle from the '20s and .30s. $50 if it is working?
 
The DW rifle is what was called a 'knabenbuchse' or 'boy's rifle'. They were a youngsters intro to shooting, the 'Chipmunk' of those days.

Yours looks like the very basic Warnant action version, shooting a 4mm BB cap or similar.

Trombone is worth around $500 in good original shape. With a broken stock and tapped receiver (if it is tapped) unfortunately brings it down significantly. Great guns an I wouldn't mind another ;)
 
Receiver is tapped and the rear sight is missing. I also noticed that it is stamped .22 L. I assume that it is not chambered in lr. This probably brings the value down more I assume.

The DW is stamped .22 long rifle (metric designation as well) and will chamber and extract a snap cap. It appears to work just fine.

Thanks for the info. I would appreciate any more info or values. They will most likely end up on the EE as I'm a bolt guy. Wife is going to ask around her family first though.
