Re: franz. Neumeyer, Freising

These are a few more of my Neumeyer. I never could find very much concerning the maker. The proofs seem to indicate before 1905. The barrels are 26 inches. Both steel. Blacked finnish. The stock contains nice figure. The trigger for the rifled barrel is a single set. The tang sight is adjustable by some drifting tool that I must try to duplicate. The cartridge trap holds two rifle cartridges and one two shot shells. Chambers are 2.5" (65mm). When I bought the gun, the trap contained one original cartridge that the owner thought was some sort of rivet or marking. A cast of the chamger shows this is the actual casing. The case had a missfired primer. Well diveted. I pulled it apart and found a 196 grain cast bullet, lubed, with a charge of 42 grains of a smokeless flake powder. Square flakes.
There is a carved notch on the bottom of the wrist just behind the horn pistol grip. I assume this is to comemorate the taking of game, or poucher. Who knows.
I hope you enjoy the photos.
