When my grandfather died in the early fifties I ended up with a single shot bolt action "Simmons" .22 rifle made in Germany.

It was a small rifle with slim and trim lines.

The extractor didn't work but you could dig the shell out with a pocket knife.

It was a neat little gun but too much trouble to go through for each shot.

I tried to get parts for it by couldn't find any or anyone who knew what it was. I eventually traded it off for something else.
