Need Steyr-Daimler Gun Info
I have an old Steyr-Daimler bolt action .22lr gun called the Zephyr. It is described as followed: The gun has a 20" barrel and plain wood stock, It has button mag release on the left side of the stock, left side of Rec. has a couple proof marks I can't make out then 59 and then says Steyr-Daimler-Puch A.G. Steyr, Austria. The top of rec. is grooved for scope rings and it says Zephyr and has the Steyr logo stamped on it. This all I can see on the gun. Anyone know when this was made and what it would be worth in 90% condition?
Thanks

Your rifle was made between 1953 & 1969, it was the basic model. known as the "Standard Modell". The "59" is probably the manufacure/proof date.
Being it has the Gun Parts Corp Marking, it was imported and sold by them as a used gun. This was during a much later time frame then when it was originally manufactured.
As far as I know, their would be no great collector interest/demand for something like this. It value would be similar to a used, good quality .22 on todays market.
