Stolen Double Rifle
#129898 - 18/03/09 06:09 AM

I'm trying to help out a friend here by posting photos of his Ziegenhahn 470 double rifle that was stolen at the IWA show... (along with 14 Purdeys).

The rifle is probably still in Europe (who knows), but we get a lot of global traffic here. So if anyone sees or hears anything, please let me know.

Sorry to hear that.

May I suggest a Serial Number as well (even though this gun looks unique).

Sorry to hear that. Off topic, who did the engraving work on that rifle? It's very nice.

It's a German engraver... I can't remember the name, but I'll ask and let you know.

Just about every German engraver I know of signs his/her work on the receiver. Check in the most inconspicuous of places first.

I see in the last picture that the engraver signed the sideplate in the right hand side a bit below the rightmost screw. Seems to be and R. T or F something, can't make it out at the resolution.
