(I've posted this question on Canadian Airgun Forum as well - asking here just in case someone knows about these)

Friend just gave me this old Telly (yes I thought it said "Jelly" until I read up on it). Neat rifle, seems well made - apparently manufactured by FEG. I lubed it and shot it, accurate rifle and hits pretty hard. Drives a .177 almost completely through 3/8" OSB at 10m.

Couple questions:

1) Anyone have info on dates of manufacture? I can't find anything so far.

2) The medallion on the stock says this is 5.5 mm caliber (.22) but this is clearly a .177 - if the stock was changed, whoever did it was real careful (all the screws look untouched). Anyone else have one with this descrepancy?

I have one as well.A Canadian Tire 19.99 special from the 60's ,Hungarian but indestructable.Around 600 fps new.I put a new after market mainspring in mine and it's good for another 40 years.Many dead crows,starlings and the like since I got it as a kid.They have a leather piston seal that if you remove the piston and soak it it neats foot oil leather end down in a container will swell it back to size.Harold
 
Thanks for the input!

I've been shooting it and enjoy it, hope to get many years yet out of this one as well. It is accurate and powerful! They definitely don't make 'em like this anymore. They were around when I was a kid but back then if it wasn't a Crosman or Daisy I didn't pay a lot of attention.
