Hey Jordy, it is NOT a Flobert. This one is German made - The Stylized "D" will give you a clue as to the maker. If you dig a bit, you should easily identify who made your rifle.

But I think you will find that this is a German Youth Rifle, manufactured by Deutsche Werke, Erfurt, between 1919 and 1939. Some of these had the letters "DRP" on the right side of the "receiver".

Wow , why even reply if you are just going to tell someone "it's not this, but if you dig deeper you can figure it out"


Anyways , scjordan from the info I was able to find by looking up Old single shot rifles I believe what your friend has is a DRYSE "ORTGIES" .22 CAL GERMAN SINGLE SHOT BOYS RIFLE

One of the reasons is to get people to think for themselves and to not only the "search function" and also "google." Before you get too complacent on the Dreyse "Ortiges" .22 Cal German Single shot Boys rifle I would suggest you check out the following website.

http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j...ubgR3tIx6kVXUCl0A&sig2=k_vJ0xP6QdJra8U0SWI7ng

or

Deutsche Werke - Werk Erfurt (Germany) Model I, .22 LR Rifle

.

The stylized "D" is actually a type of "lion" and is a trade mark of Deutsche Werke. As such, it is not likely that it was used by any other manufacturer.

Far be it from me to suggest that the FRT is wrong, but it certainly is not correct in a lot of their identifications. For quite a while, there existed no such thing as a 1910 Ross Mark III rifle, according to them.

it seems that you are right and the source I found was wrong(or atleast confused) . still maybe scjordan looked and wasnt able to find info on the rifle so he decided to post here for help , so instead of say it isnt something and dig deeper , give him a hand that is the main reason for forums such as these
 
A little late for the party, but definitely a Deutche Werke...Awesome little gun. I've had one for a couple years, shoots 3" at 50yds and is a great little backpacker.

Not particularly valuable...one in really good condition might fetch ya $150...But they are neat looking and shoot straight...what more could you ask for?
