NE Gents,

Thank you for your nice comments.

Mehul Kamdar,

I haven't shot this one as yet but there is a good chance it will be accompanying me on a Russian boar hunt I have booked for the third week in January. It will be a good tool for the job at hand.

On another note, our friend Raimey has shared a description of this piece from a period Franz W. Kessler catalog that he has. The gun is FWK's Model 17, the description goes as follows:

17. Hammerless double barrel rifle system Tip-Top with extra strong Greener action, the barrels with side-wings, long and extra strong breech block for cartridges with strong chargings, with chain-stitch engraving, rosettes and adorned shells, black garniture.

Regards,

Buchseman
