Manufactured by Erma Werke in Germany and proofed in Munich in 1969, this rifle carries period-correct markings. The receiver is rollmarked "Mod. E M1.22 ERMA-Werke Made in Germany," and the proofs include the Eagle/N nitro mark, Munich proof house symbol, and "69" date, confirming its year of proof.
The rifle uses a semi-automatic blowback action in .22 LR with a right-side charging handle and a push-button safety. Its 18-inch steel barrel and blued finish align with the model’s period features and construction.
The hardwood stock is fixed with a sling cut, paired with a one-piece wood forearm. A barrel band with an integral sling loop, a front sling loop, and a rear buttstock sling slot provide practical carry options without a bayonet lug.
Iron sights include a protected front post with side ears and an adjustable rear aperture, offering clear, traditional sighting. The design uses a detachable box magazine (not included), consistent with the model’s configuration.
