OK I showed the pictures to my father in law. His best guess is late 19th/early 20th century maybe German gunsmith custom built and/or experimental gun. It is styled after the "schuetzen" long range European target shooting competitions that were popular then. Perhaps the 5 is 5mm. The action is something he has never seen before. The carving on the stock is more English and American style. If the stock was carved by a German it would have had a stag or a deer on it most likely. The double triggers also suggests German. Bottom line is, it's not a major manufacturer. Too bad you are so far away. We are in Michigan, otherwise he could take a look at it. By the way, here is a blatent plug for his website.
