hope the seller will give me the serial number for my data list, Kudua give me the idea that Dreyse Berlin -Sömmerda was maybe a semi-indipendent corporation of N.v.Dreyse that ended when he take over the factory in Sömmerda:

"Timpe had a shop at the very prestigious boulevard Unter den Linden 31, central Berlin. Apparently Timpe was near the end of his career in the early 1890s. By 1895 he had amalgamated with Heinrich Leue, Berlin, to Form the Leue & Timpe company. About 1900 H.Leue is mentioned as the owner of the company.

Maybe NvD II and Timpe formed a short- lived partnership of sorts, to capitalize on the famous v.Dreyse name and Timpe's prestigious Berlin address? This certainly Ended when NvD II inherited the Soemmerda factory in 1894."

whatever it be new guns will bring new informations but here is the double - can't remember another double rifle with octagonal to round barrels
