Presentation Walther Bolt/Semiauto Combo
I've had this for a while. Information is limited, but from what I could find out Walther had a presentation grade of The Model II made for dignitaries during the run up to WWII. For those that have never seen them, they can be operated as a bolt action or if you flip up the bolt, as a semi auto. Clip fed, this is a really unique gun.

Thanks, Roger. I have never heard of a rifle like that. What caliber is it? Have you used it for hunting?

It's a .22
I've never shot it. But, I have shot a similar but plain model. They are very cool guns.

Funny that this old thread piqued your interest.
Classic example of German over engineering.
I like the engraving so I bought it. I'm into the deep relief style.
