This is a rare single shot, base model, Deutsche Werke-Werk Erfurt Model 1, built around 1920. It has open sights, on a 19-inch barrel. Condition and rifling are both good. 

The Deutsche Werke Werk Erfurt Model 1 is German-made, Floberg-style, single-shot rifle intended for use by youths as a small-game/vermin rifle. The flip-up breech block type is a Warnant action, used mostly in Flobert rifles.

These youth rifles were built as early as 1919 and as late as 1939. Later models will have the Waffenan proof marks that denotes an export-only rim-fire rifle. Common proof marks consist a Prussian Eagle above a Crown B on both underside of barrel and left side of receiver.  Because this rifle does not have any proof marks, it was made prior to 1933.

There is a calibre marking "5.4mm" on the underside of the barrel, and is a European rating for the calibre.

One note, this rifle was built when .22 ammo was much lower in power, AND IS NOT BUILT TO HANDLE MODERN .22LR AMMUNITION.
