Hey all,

I have an old rifle given to me around 20 years ago by a distant relative that went in the garage and was forgotten about. Found it again recently and thought maybe someone here could shed some light on its history.

It has 'HEMBRUG 1918' stamped on the bolt housing and seems to have taken a cartridge of some sort (now missing). It has a sliding sight with increments from 2-20 in front of the bolt.

On the butt is a screwed in gold plate thats stamped '1-Legioen I 270'.

Sorry about the vague description, but I'm not firearms smart at all.

Any info greatly appreciated, thanks.
