What a lovely rifle. What a find.

"Esterhazy"

The thread opened for me in the middle of the photos. The first thing I saw, was the embossed name on the guncase and got excited.

I am saw I have seen that name mentioned in early hunting accounts in Kenya, from the golden age. Maybe not the same person (?), but the name was immediately familiar. I am sure it us also a Hungarian name. Which fits in with the Austrian-Hungarian Empire.
