Gents:
I just traded into a German rifle. It is not a drilling but a bolt action but this is probably the place to find someone knowledgeable in German rifles to tell me something about it. Caliber is .270 Winchester.

The maker's name is stamped on the stock in small letters just behind the pistol grip cap: A. REICH. The name of the city ends with -----STADT but I can't make out the first letters.

This is very high quality rifle built on a Mauser action with a B. Nickle 2-6x scope on claw mounts. 24 inch barrel with a two leaf rear sight for 100 and 200 yards. The stock looks like the old Winslow rifles that were common in the early 1970s--i.e. like Weatherby styling run amok. The carving is very well done, three ivory diamond inlays in the stock, with recoil pad and cheek piece, sling swivels, and the bolt, safety, and cartridge follower nicely jeweled.

I picked up the rifle on trade a week ago and would like to find out about the maker and any other information. It is exceptionally accurate. If I can get any info, I will post it on my website for sale with some photos as my area of interest is double rifles. I had to make this trade due to other firearms involved in the transaction that I want to part with as well as one I wanted.

Any assistance would be appreciated and if any of you folks want to see photos, email me and I will send them (I'm not too good at posting photos on AR).

Thanks, all and cheers.
Cal

Post good closeup photos in the custom built rifle forum. You will get many more responses.
