J.G.A. ZELLA-MEHLIS Germany .22
- Thread starter Big fish
- Start date
JGA is an older version of what is now called Anschutz. Zella-Mellis refers to the location in Germany where JGA made firearms before WWII. This area had other gunmakers as well. After WWII many of these manufacturers moved to what became West Germany. Anschutz went to Ulm.
A JGA pre-war rifle may well be a Flobert I action model. See the top example below. Prewar rifles may have appeared similar to the example at bottom. Parts haven't been made for decades. Another rifle may be cannibalized for parts. Sometimes these are available on the EE.

Thank but I’m located in Saskatchewan
If you ever would part with that stock please contact me. It would be greatly appreciated
I have a pre war model . Like grauhanen has at the bottom of his post.
gaff's suggestion is a good one. There are about five rifles that are Flobert I action JGA (pre-war Anschutz) models. One has a crack at the rear tang. The site gives a reasonable idea of what these rifles are valued at so the OP can decide if it's worthwhile.
Have one from "Zella St Blasii in Thüringen.
Oskar Will's first in .22L, he was the youngest of the best known airgun makers active in Germany prior to 1914.
The operations of this German metalworking and gunmaking business began in Zella in1844.
Lovely wood and deep blueing.
