Fuhrmann,

Out of the few guns that Brenneke manufactured (I've been told perhaps only 400) this one definitely has some interesting features. When my father was well into the repair and restoration of this piece he was asked by Dietrich Apel of the German Gun Collectors Association to write an article documenting his progress. His article was published in the GGCA's "Der Waffenschmied" No. 22, Summer 2004 Volume 7, No. 2. Unfortunately my father was taken from us before he was able to complete the project. He left that task up to me. It's a rather important project to me to say the least. I snapped a picture of a section on page 12 of the journal were my father describes how the safety features work. I will be one very happy camper when I am finally able to shoot it. The drinks will be on me! Who the toast will be to should be clear.

PS - When it's complete I'll have to fill the group in on how it all began, starting in 1957! It makes me smile every time I think about it.
