help with code on a drillling
#212844 - 16/07/12 11:10 PM

I am once again guilty of picking up strays. Just found a hammer drilling in need of some major help, which this time will include welding.
Aside from that and pictures later, it is an Austrian double 20 (15.1 on shotgun over an 11.7 stamp on the rifle) which could be a mystery Werndl type round.
It has both Austrian (EF) and German (crown G and Crown S ) stamps on the respective barrels.

The number string on the bottom rib is: 4022.09.150 15.1 11.7

Maker is M. Ogris Ferlach.

Thanks

Tom

Ok, got around to some pix,

I thought that the surprised looking hare was a hoot. On the other side is a dog that I swear is smiling.

Also visible is the missing chunk of wood and some broke off the top of one hammer and was kind enough to grind both of them to match.

And proofs

The "Nicht fϋr Kugel" is Austrian, meaning it's a choke bored barrel. The thing that looks like a number 3 backwards, with an F super-imposed is the Ferlach stamp and I agree that the N with a crown is probably German. But the much larger crown on the other side looks like a Paris proof mark for finished guns. It's a bit out of focus so not so easy to be sure.

Also, since the weight of the barrels, (in grams), was stamped on Austrian smokeless proved guns of this era, I wonder if you carefully weighed it today, if it might come close?

Tht's meant to read "Nicht fur Kugel". The website clearly didn't like my umlaut sign, (2 dots above the U in fur). It means "not for ball".

the werndl cartridges are 11,2
11,7 is not common but I believe it could be some version of the 450 BPE mother case:
11,6x60R 450
11,6x65R 450
or the real 11,6x82R 450
