This German drilling over/under gun is in amazing shape for being over 100 years old. The combination gun was manufactured in the period circa 1911/12 and September 1923. Incredibly beautiful engraving on the entire gun - from the receiver to the safety to the trigger guard to the forend, you can really appreciate the time and skill that went into creating this beauty! I have done extensive research into this firearm, and have yet to find one that is identical to it. The forend has a specific contour and the the cheek pad has unique, sharper lines - it is not rounded as on all other drillings that are similar to this one. If anyone has additional information, I would love to hear it. It is truly a unique firearm and piece of firearms manufacturing history that is an exquisite example of what was possible when talent and care were taken to create something that is much more than a gun. Good luck bidding…I'm sure this won't last long!
As mentioned above, I've found some others similar to it online, but nothing that is exactly like it. One area that seems to be unique is the trigger guard/assembly. The safety is also different - a small "button" that slides back and forth. Here is a list of the proof markings and other markings on the firearm. The gun is in amazing condition.
Some things of note and Specifications:
Based on my research, I am starting the bidding at what appears to be a fair value for this drilling based on its condition. Good luck bidding!
