Anyone know of this German Gunmaker?
#70919 - 07/02/07 02:30 AM

My good friend just bought a SxS 20 shotgun with
"Hans Hunold" on the rib, no address but it has July 1925
Suhl proofmarks. It's a very high grade gun but just not
quite equal to a English "Best". He has tried the German
Gun Collectors and came up with zero. Has anyone run across
this name before?
Thanks
Raff

Guns from Suhl from that time period do not show the name of the maker on the rib, but the name of the retailer who sold them. Hence, Hans Hunold was a shop that sold guns.

Raff,

One of the members at my club has a 16 ga Hans Honold gun. I'll try and find out if he knows anything about the gunmaker - not sure if I would get any authoritative information, but it won't hurt to ask.

Good hunting!
