If this drilling is a 8X57JR (.318 dia) and you are not intrested in it for that reason, let me know! I'm well fixed for the 8X57JR loading, and have a ton of supplies for loading it! I also have several rifles with this chambering. If the drilling is in decent shape, (70% ??), and it is only finish that is effected, then I would like a crack at it as well. The 16 ga barrels are most likely the short version as well, as most that have a rifle barrel chambered for the 8X57JR (.318) are also chambered for the short 16 ga. I'm set up for that as well! $2000 US sounds like a bargain, but condition will effect that considerably.

The Anson&deeley probably referes to the forearm latch, as the Germans love this lever latch on their doubles! I'm not aware of A&D makeing a drilling action, but I could be wrong! It also could apply to the A&D ejectors,or to hammered side locks, made by A&D, if it has them. The barrels should be Krupp, and should be stamped as KRUPP LUFFSTAHL meaning Krupp fluid steel, under the forearm.

Too bad you don't have some pictures of this drilling! I could tell you quite a bit more about it's linage!
