Another, later Collath gun: As it is signed „W.Collath Söhne, Frankfurt a.d. Oder” + the “TESCO” trademark, it was made post-1906, the death of Wilhelm Collath. First made as a s/s 20 gauge 2 ½ “ shotgun, post-1912 Nitro proof, serial # 21310.

A short time later G.Teschner & Co., W.Collath Söhne, fitted interchangeable combination or cape gun barrels, originally in 20 2 ½ “ and 6.5x70R, a very slim “pencil” cartridge. In 1930 the rifle barrel was rebored, rechambered and reproofed to take the slightly fatter 7x72R Brenneke cartridge.

The breech shows the additional 1897, DRGM 128479, “Collath Kammerverschluss” = chamber lockup, two discs integral with the breech face going into the rear ends of the chambers.

The combination barrels are mounted with (now) a 4x Hensoldt scope on Collath’s own 1902 slide on scope mount, DRGM 176777.
