Sounds like it was made for or by Gustav Genschow (=Geco) Berlin-Treptow. They were active from the late 1880s

I've got one of their .22 youth rifles made in the 1920s...

Owned by a Jewish family, it's assets were apparently taken over by the Nazi government in the late 1930s.

There is currently a company linked to the name. Details at:
