Barrel address looks like A. LOESCHE, HOFBUCHSENMACHER, MAGDEBURG.



The top of the receiver has LOESCHES PANZERBUCHSE. PANZERBUCHSE translates, according to Wikipedia, as Tank Hunting rifle. Big Game?-- Tank-- Panzer: Auf Deutsch - following WW1- specifically Col. General (General Oberst) Heinz Guedarian-- 1934 " Die Panzer in Kreig"-- Busche- generic term for guns-- (this is my rifle, this is my gun) a rifle would be Gewehr-- Hunting- Jagd-- or Hunter Jaeger--

The other gentleman has is more to the point- forget Wiki=Pedia and consider this to be a "Extra Proof Gun" as a perhaps more accurate literal translation. RWTF



Neat rear sight.




Grip safety?
