Re: An unusual 24ga W. Collath Double Rifle

Hello

I had this double rifle on the screen <a href="beforehttp://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=birdhunting&Number=245837&page=0&fpart=11" target="_blank">beforehttp://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=birdhunting&Number=245837&page=0&fpart=11</a>

it appear on gun international in 12/2023.
you post a wrong pic, this is not your rifle



your rifle must be this one











the rifle have the german V+crown "proof" from early 1893. I am curious about the serial number!
It was allready out of fashion in 1893 when most hunter have some 11 mm caliber and the 8 mm nitro rifle came on the market first time.
I am await the common 24 ga brass cut to 40 mm length but other case lengths are also possible.
40 mm was the most common together with the so called cats head bullet.

blackpowder only!
