I learned about GeCo when a co-worker told me his recently deceased uncle had left a rifle he'd brought back form WW-II...

I had visions of a K98....

What he brought me was a GeCo youth rifle - a .22 from the mid 1920s.

That lead to my research into Gustav Genschow...

Since, I've seen a couple of the Mauser action .22 rifles used in Germany for training, and would really enjoy finding one.

The Genschow was well made and a nice example of work from that era...
