Hei,
Can anyone please tell me the maker of this tennstempelrifle and what cartridge it is chambered for?
In the 4th picture it appears to be a "K" with a star above it, indicating possibly a Belgium inspectors stamp? I have posted all the markings on the  rifle.
Thank you.

By the way, An original 10.15X61 Jarmann will not fit into the chamber.

Nice and interesting tennstempel rifle!
What is the diameter and thickness of the rim? What are the distance between the rim and the neck/shoulder? Are the 10,5mm diameter taken from the rifling or the lands?

Hello,
I measured as accurately as I could from the face of the breechblock to the base of the rim cutout in the chamber and it was 3mm.
Diameter of rim is 17mm.
Please see pictures for other measurements.
Also if you look at the chamber cast there is no throat for bullet clearance. So perhaps the case is shorter than it would appear?
Top is mystery cartridge cast bottom is normal cast.
