But how about the Damascus barrels - do they happen to have nitro proof?
If not, this baby will need a special diet with black powder ..

you know there is no logical reason to buy a blackpowder double gun but with such a stunning beauty before my nose what should I do? was on my list for many years and when I had it in my hands there was no doubt anymore.
I was in the basement today to clean my 12 ga RCBS reloading die set. there is no problem to load blackpowder shotshells and I have some hundred unfired paper shells also.

can only tell you that the pics dont justice this double gun

Congratulations then!
This is fantastic, I'd also say "must have"...
And even with a nitro proof, one would probably have to load low-pressure cartridges.

with modern sophisticated made damascus steel you can shoot probably anything you want but with this late 19. century handmade damascus from Liege where is the end? some do it and shoot light nitro for black loads but you are allways on a thin line.
someone must do the work and pressure test all this loads you can made, blackpowder and nitro loads to have a scientific basis about this problems. but it will cost realy a lot of money and this only for a handful of vintage double gun lover.

I cant see someone will do this investment!

Lancaster,

yes I agree, one must be careful with these old barrels.
From my very limited experience, I can tell that full black powder loads can feel quite "stout".
Many years back my brother loaded some 16 gauge shells testing real vintage black powder (French, labelled "Forte"). He recorded muzzle velocity of 380 m/s (close to modern smokeless) and observed torn paper hulls...
My feeling that the right smokeless loads may be even milder than black powder, but as you say, it requires lots of knowledge and testing.

I have seen a lot of information on loading for vintage shotguns here:
http://www.16ga.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=2&sid=a66de0ac193a82c1c7cfcc508919eae5

For once, you have the wrong gauge with your 12, but seeing this wealth of 16 ga. data I would expect that there should be some data for 12 ga. too.

In the US,you can buy low-pressure shells
http://www.polywad.com/vintager.html
http://www.rstshells.com/store/pg/7-RST-About-Us.aspx

I exchanged some emails with these people some years ago, no export to Europe at that time.

#247481 - 16/05/14 09:50 PM

so the gun is here and work allready startet...

to open a Teschner Collath you turn the underlever to the left side

at some point the barrels move forward, the extractor move backward and the looks are cocked

now the barrel drop by gravity

to close the gun you push the barrels down with the thump of the left hand and then turning the underlever back

if you wish to uncock you press both triggers with the right hand fingers and turn the lever back

cocked and safe after turning the safety wing

you see the safety wing in the "safe" position when aiming

safety catch of

some details of a most beautyful gun

good as any other gun I know

#247483 - 16/05/14 10:24 PM

also on paper:
the Teschner-Collath action startet in the late 1850s as a needle fire gun for a paper cartridge without base after some modifications the same action lived into the 1920s suitable for big nitro cartridges

Zimmer 1873

the 1914 catalog

tesco was alsways very innovative, here a monoblog

the guns were made in five qualitys

the difference between the 3. and 4. quality was the monoblog
my damascus gun would compare with this steel barrels guns

the teschner collath and the v. dreyse double gun, the dreyse looks more early 19. century

with a "modern shotgun" , Gebr. Adamy 16 ga

yes, it looks strange but why only in the middle and dont crack from on side to the other? I will talk with a competent gunsmith about this problem before firing the gun. fortunately the upper tang on the TESCO gun is a seperate part unlike most other break-down frame's

so I hope it can be repaired without hassle if necessary

In late 2013 the German Gun Collectors Association www.germanguns.com published a 30 page journal, “Der Waffenschmied No. 45”, on the Teschner & Co, Wilhelm Collath, Frankfurt a.d. Oder, company. It is available from their bookstore, plus a reprint of a catalog.

Contents:
The Company Teschner & Co.(on company history),
The “Collath” action and Collath inventions (on the history of the Renette – Gastinne – Lancaster – Berger – Collath slide and tilt action and 12 other gun patents + 27 registered designs assigned to the Collaths)

Lancaster,
what a wonderful piece of history you have there - a true gem!
I'm with fuhrmann in this case, I would only feed this baby with BP.
I sincerely hope the crack Tinker found (I missed it first time) won't affect the safety of this old gun & be repairable without damage to that beautiful engraving!
Fingers cross for you mate!
Would love to see a video of the whole loading, firing & unloading process of this type of rifle/gun.
Lovely engineering & artistry rolled into one neat package!
Love this stuff
Cheers

to get the barrels out you have to unloose the little screw on on the left side behind the pin that hold the barrel

if the screw is out you can push the pin to the right side and the barrels come free

serial number: No. 4969. C.1
the C(?) is maybe for Caliber written with a C and not with a K as Kaliber in modern german

in "Der Waffenschmied No.45" you see Drillings in the 3400-3500 number range without proof so make before 1891. if you remember that v.Dreyse reach the 20000 in the 1880s its clear that it had a much bigger circulation. but Dreyse was one of the biggest military rifle maker then build up with government money.

eagle and U with crown proof so made in the 1890s

S and BERN on the damascus barrels, right barrel have the E in BERN back to front
I think its the stamp of the barrel maker

serial number and CP under the barrel
CP could be Collath Patent?

the barrels are inside like a mirror

I have seen worse so not bad for damascus black powder

#247507 - 17/05/14 09:49 PM

the original TESCO shotgun cartridge is a paper cartridge with "Schlußspiegel". the german Spiegel means not mirror but sabot like in "Treibspiegel" and is a lightly conical massive end piece. this conical end was pressed into the conical chamber for obturation.
the primer have a steel pin inside driven into the needle fire pill by a common firing pin. so its a missing link between the needle fire and the center fire cartridge. to give the thin paper cartridge more strength it have a second high base most time black lacquered steel.

this illustration from 1873 show the cartridge that was developt in the 1860s

beside of Dreyse was Teschner Collath the only firm with a complete proprietary shotgun cartridge family. this happen in the 1860s when the muzzle loader gun was still predominant and the pin fire cartridge was brand new.
TESCO named the caliber by numbers where No. 0 was the biggest( close to 10 ga) and No. 8 was the smallest( 28 bore)
please dont ask where No. 2 is, nobody knows

most common is No.1 , 3 and 4 what is more or less 12 ga, 14 ga and 16 ga
no surprise! you will find for every Collath cartridge a CF shotgun shell that will fit into the chamber.

the Collath gun will fire common center fire primer without problems and Tesco start probably in the 1890s to make the TESCO shotgun cartridge with this primer also.

"Für das Ausland..."
- "for foreign countrys where its maybe a problem to get our own shotgun cartridges we make our guns fore the common center fire cartridges on special order"

the "Diana" cartridge wit another base but the TESCO primer

Teschner Collath 12 and 16 ga paper shells

this shotgun cartridges are rare on the collector market today! I found only 4 paper shells in my box.
from left to right:
12ga. Gevelot pin fire, old Schönebeck 12ga BP, new 12 ga Gamebore BP, old style Tesco No 1 BP shell with Gevelot primer( up to the 1990s the most used center fire primer in europe), a No 3 BP shell with Tesco primer, a No.4 Nitro shell for a center fire primer similar to the moder 209 shotgun primer and No. 4 Nitro shell without the second black steel base for gevelot primer

why BP and Nitro shell? for some time it was popular to distinguish BP and Nitro shotshells by green and red paper. something that survive in the little RWS "Alarmpatrone" blank cartridge loaded with green paper shells for black powder up to now.

my gun is a No.1

a 12 magtech and a 12 ga. Schönebeck shell fired in the gun

magtech brass have a thin rim and the primer try to leave the pocket

12/70mm long shell, 12 ga Magtech brass( only 63mm long) and the 12 ga Schönebeck cut down to 65 mm

70mm long shell in the right barrel and 65 mm long in the left barrel

when looking into old stock I found 400 unfired but primed( Gevelot primer) 70mm long Schönebeck shells. they may be over 20 years old now because the 209 primer came then in common use. cut the shells on a buzzsaw what need a little bit over 30 minutes for this 400 pieces. you need the sharpest saw blade you can get for this work. there were also 400 -500 76mm or 3" long unfired paper shells I forgot

but they were store away for the things to come.

Another, later Collath gun: As it is signed „W.Collath Söhne, Frankfurt a.d. Oder” + the “TESCO” trademark, it was made post-1906, the death of Wilhelm Collath. First made as a s/s 20 gauge 2 ½ “ shotgun, post-1912 Nitro proof, serial # 21310.

A short time later G.Teschner & Co., W.Collath Söhne, fitted interchangeable combination or cape gun barrels, originally in 20 2 ½ “ and 6.5x70R, a very slim “pencil” cartridge. In 1930 the rifle barrel was rebored, rechambered and reproofed to take the slightly fatter 7x72R Brenneke cartridge.

The breech shows the additional 1897, DRGM 128479, “Collath Kammerverschluss” = chamber lockup, two discs integral with the breech face going into the rear ends of the chambers.

The combination barrels are mounted with (now) a 4x Hensoldt scope on Collath’s own 1902 slide on scope mount, DRGM 176777.

S and BERN on the damascus barrels, right barrel have the E in BERN back to front
I think its the stamp of the barrel maker

"BERN" most likely stands for A. Bernard, Liege, Belgium, who in 1855 patented a novel, improved damascus pattern, named for him "Bernard Damast". Most high grade damascus Barrels were imported in the rough from Belgium, where they were pattern welded by many specialzed smithes in villages around Liege. Rough damascus barrels were marked by the smithes as to pattern, as the figuring only becomes visible on finishing.

with a serial number over 20000 in 1912-1914 it fits excellent in my own theory that Teschner Collath had the most productive time between 1894 and 1914. this were very optimistic twenty years of the biggest boom the world have seen till then. something that is forgotten because of the great war now.

to bad its not a 6,5x70R anymore, I like the pencil cartridge because its a little bit strange. the 7x72R was not realy a big improvement or is it possible to load this cartridge legal for big game under the german hunting law?
its allways astonishing how many Tesco Drillings you see, probably more than guns. it could not be only guns were scrapped so they must have made a lot of Drillings before the war

Quote:

A couple strikes on the magtech thin brass rim will allow it to headspace properly.

think I will stay with paper shells, 400 are more than enough and I have more once fired paper and plastic shells on stock. to be honest I have used plastic shells with BP in the past also for old guns.
its true that I hate this stuff but with truck loads on my clay target range its hard to resist.

I was sniffing for collath guns and found this beautyful double rifle Hermann Historica sold in 2011
have not seen it then

"Lot Nr. 377
A Collath luxury double rifle,
Frankfurt/ O., first half of 20th century, cal. ..360 (?), no. 282785. Bright bores made of Witten Excelsiorstahl with only few light usage marks, refinished, German proof mark crown / "NGU", barrel root with gold inlays and leaf engravings, fixed sight and frog mount, barrel length 63 cm. Eccentric bolt action with horn lever, strong locks, double trigger (reblued?), rear set trigger on the right, rotation wing safety. Receiver with rich animal and oak leaf engravings, signature "W. COLLATH SÖHNE FRANKFURT A. O.". Elegant half stock of walnut root wood, hardly noticeably ground on buttstock, horn cap and horn trigger (repaired crack), good checkering, distance front trigger - centre butt plate 36.5 cm, two sling swivels. Total length 106 cm.
An extremely rare Collath double rifle deluxe model. "
http://www.hermann-historica.de/auktion/...;db=kat63_s.txt

this Cal.9 88 looks like a 9x57 rimless , especially when you look at the cartridge extractor
something must be wrong with the serial number 282785 is to high. must be more a 28278!?

I say it before most people today are completly unaware of the Tesco shotgun cartridges so most 12ga and 16 ga guns may be in fact No.1 and No.4.

now that is interesting
the first model collath double gun shooting a paper cartridge with seperate percussion primer
http://www.littlegun.info/arme%20allemande/artisan%20c%20d/a%20collath%20w%20%20gb.htm

this double gun must be made in the late 1850s, early 1860s

you see basically its the same gun still made into the 1920s only hammerless when the needle fire cartridge came some times later

looks like Cal. 6 so this would mean the number system goes back to the very first paper cartridges

This one appears to me to be a breech loading percussion shotgun, not meant for any ctg. - except for some sort of self-contained, completely wrapped in paper ctg. would be possible, I assume. The ctg. would look similar to the military ctgs. of the muzzleloading era which contained powder and ball or powder ball and buck shot. In this case, they'd be powder, wads and shot. The breech extensions would have to seat well into the powder charge in order to effect ignition.

yes daryl, that what I wrote but dont meaning the modern paper shell
it was a thin paper shotgun cartridge very similar like like this early needle fire cartridge only without the primer pill you see under the shot sabot.

but the cal. 6 indicate that Teschner was using his own "gauge" system by numbers from the beginning

Lancaster, apparently you haven’t read the article in "Der Waffenschmied" on the history of the so-called "Collath" slide-and-drop action. That percussion breechloading gun on littlegun.be is not by Collath or Teschner. Look at the inscription on the top rib. The word “MEHLIS” is legible, so it was made there. Neither Wilhelm Collath nor his father in law Gustav Teschner ever worked in now Zella-Mehlis. This capping breechloader is made to Renette’s French 1820 patents. Renette’s capping breechloader is the “grandfather” of the “Collath action”. Such guns were called "Schnellader" = quickloader in Germany and used muzzleloader-style cartridges, powder, wad and shot wrapped in paper, as Daryl S already noted.. Ignition was by hammers hitting percussion caps on outside nipples. As such cartridges had no case or base wad, gas sealing was achieved by steel cups or tubes entering the breech ends of the barrels. Of course such gas seals needed a straight fore and aft movement of the barrel before they dropped on opening. Such capping breechloaders were made by Gastinne's father in law and partner Albert Henry Marie Renette, who obtained two French patents for outside primed guns with slide and drop action in 1820, way before Lefaucheux' invention of the break-open gun, 1834. Not only Gastinne-Renette, Paris, made such guns, but the design was copied by many other gunmakers all over Europe, as in the “Mehlis” signed gun erroneously ascribed to Collath by littlegun.be.

Contrary to popular belief neither Collath nor Teschner invented that slide-and-drop breech action. The merely took an existing breech action and adapted it to their own needs.
These slide and drop actions are now so linked to the "Collath" name that even guns by others, some predating Teschner and Collath, are labeled "Collath" nowadays. But neither Gustav Teschner nor Wilhelm Collath invented this breech action. Teschner first offered needlefire guns in 1858. Five years earlier, in 1853, Louis Julien Gastinne obtained the French patent No.9058, showing this breech action on a hammer gun, intended to use inside-primed centerfire cartridges. Subsequently the patent agent Auguste Edouard Loradoux Bellford patented the same thing for Gastinne in Great Britain, patent No.2778 of 1853. Bellford assigned this British patent to Charles Lancaster, London. Lancaster popularized these hammer slide and drop action using Gastinne’s inside primed “base-fire” cartridge. Even Gastinne did not invent this breech action. About 1850 the young gunsmith journeyman Rudolf Berger from Köthen worked at the Gastinne-Renette shop in Paris during his travelling years. After returning home he took over his father's shop and made needlefire guns of his own design. He simplified and improved Nicolaus v. Dreyse's coil spring striker locks and combined them with Renette's slide and drop breech action. As his own paper needlefire cartridges still lacked a gas seal he retained studs on the breechface, but with Chassepot-type rubber cushions for better seals. By placing his primers near the rear end of the cartridge instead of Dreyse's position in front of the powder charge, he could use shorter, less vulnerable needles for ignition.
Only now enter Gustav Teschner and Wilhelm Collath. Legend has it that Collath, working for Teschner since 1855, actually developed the "Teschner-Collath" gun. Coil spring striker locks were deeply mistrusted then by many gunmakers, accused of slow lock time and weakening coil springs. So Collath took the basic Renette slide and drop breech action and combined it with tumbler locks powered by large leaf springs, mounted on the triggerplate. These are the earliest hammerless Blitzschlosse = triggerplate locks known. The locks are cocked by the underlever when opening the gun. Turning the wing-nut shaped safety on the tang blocks the inside hammers. As the Teschner-Collath nailfire cartridges now had a metal base cap and a solid, gas sealing base wad, Collath did away with the Renette-Berger breech sealing plugs on the breechface. The base wad and a metal cap was alredy patented in 1846 by French Houllier of Paris.

of course I read the article in "Der Waffenschmied" but some time is gone and somewhere in my brain I was remeber that the very first guns were "Schnellladegewehre" before the needle fire cartridge was adopted. dont had enough time to look at the pics dont see "Mehlis" because all of my attention was absorb by the "Cal. 6" engraving. you see what you know and so I take as what they name it: a Teschner Collath.

.
.

take a look into this issue and its the same gun you see on page 7- thats what I was remembering.
its over a month that I read it

thanks for clarify this! this is what this thread is made for

I think then it must be close to 1881

found this pics of the 12,7x86R 500 double rifle again

serial number looks like 13283 what must be around 1905. the cartridge must have been very old-fashioned for a german hunting rifle in this modern times. the action is engraved with " 16.500/86" so there were 16 ga barrels too.

Guessing from the unusually "doubled up" Collath Kammerverschluss,DRGM # 128479 of 1897, the chamber walls of the double rifle barrels must be unusually heavy for a blackpowder dr. So it was more likely made for the .500 3 1/4" Nitro Express cartridge, maybe for some German bound for the African colonies.

Fantastic to see all types of these old period pieces, their designs advances (& shortcomings)and the direction they took that lead us from flintlocks right through to the "modern" era!
It really is fantastic to have all this wonderful knowledge on tap here & everyone is willing to share rather than be a 'secret society'!
Thankyou gents for our lesson today - eagerly awaiting more!

Such big bore cartridges were perhaps old-fashioned by 1905, but not outmoded. If you read contemporary German hunting literature, you will find many traditional big game hunters still mistrusting the new-fangled “smallbore”, smokeless, “high velocity” cartridges. Only 5 years ago, Carl Gruendig, Dresden, had brought out his line of 10.75 mm Gruendig catridges, using jacketed .423” 347 gr bullets at velocities from a modest 1885 (x45) to 2200 (x65) fps. Even the humble 10.75x45R G apparently had some following, as I have made such ammo to feed the Sauer & Sohn double rifle owned by a friend.

You are right, the .500 x 86R Collath cartridge was at least equal to the British .500 3 ¼” Nitro for Black or Light Cordite load, 440 gr metal based lead bullet in front of 55 gr unspecified smokeless for 1900 fps (Kynoch 1925) According to an undated, but pre-WW1 RWS bullet catalog, the .500 TESCO copper jacket bullet weighed 27.5 gramm = 424 gr. In front of 4 gramm = 62 gr smokeless BlättchenPulver Rottweil #5 (burning rate about in between IMR 3031 and 4064), it may have been close to 2000 fps. Really nothing to scoff at.

remarkable because of the extended forend - factory made???

This gun is in overall uncleaned fine condition showing the majority of its blue finish on barrels with traces of case color on receiver, balance gone to a silvery tone;bores should clean to very good/fine; crisp action; unusual barrel release that moves the barrels and part of wood fore end forward and down; key safety lever on top tang, flip up rear sight actuated by small lever onright side of trigger guard that is carved horn material as is the barrel release lever; wood is overall very good to fine with sling swivels and horn butt plate that has some slight worm damage. A really nice earlyDrilling. Est.: $600-$1,200.

described as a cape gun I cant see whats with the rifled barrel. side by side combination guns by collath seems to be very rare. right barrel is steal and left barrel is damascus what was common for büchsflinten in this time. only marked with Cal. 1 for a double gun the rifle barrel was maybe a later change not done by collath. number 6917 must be in the years between 1895 and 1900.

http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/11488830_rare-cape-gun-side-by-side-attr-to-collath

o/u double rifle in 9,3x80R SN 11571
post war scope, possible later replacement for the lost original

http://bazar.hunting-shop.cz/inzerat/113749-kulova-kozlice-w-collath-frankfurt-ho/

Drilling 8x72R / 16ga (?) SN 14280
notice there is the same stock magazine like we see on the double rifle 11571 so this probably the original magazine Collath made.

http://bazar.hunting-shop.cz/inzerat/38843-trojak-collath/

16 ga double gun - just remember most 16 ga guns offered are actually No. 4 and the 12 ga are No. 1

no serial number given , only Wittener Exelsior
http://bazar.hunting-shop.cz/inzerat/26239-brokovnice-collath-16-16/

a very old double gun SN 1793, Cal. No. 0
till now the only gun in No.0 I have seen and I dont believe this chamber was anymore made after 1900.
on the barrel rib "F.Schoenemann Maker" (Frederick Schoeneman, USA, 1833 - 98.)

sold by Kessler/Switzerland in 2007
http://www.kesslerauktionen.ch/Kataloge/Katalog/Katalog22.pdf

Drilling in 12ga (No. 1?) and 8x72R
SN 21349 http://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=5263636

Drilling in 7x65R Brennecke and 16/65
interesting late made Drilling after 1917 when the 7x56R came out. same problem like I have with the 9x57 Double rifle 282785 on page 2. SN looks like 6 digits and I believe to see 288...
this will puzzling me for a while

http://bazar.hunting-shop.cz/inzerat/3159-trojak-wilhelm-collath/

Collath reach the 20000 serial number zone between 1912 and 1914 and with the outbreak of the great war we can imagine hunting gun production war was very low. and now with two guns made after 1917 or better after 1918 we see some 280000 serial numbers? iirc, Collath was making signal flare pistols in the great war and this could be an explaining. maybe the own serial numbers were used for such pistols

so I have now two problems with the serial numbers

282785 DR in 9x57
and
288... in 7x65R and 16/65
there is an explanation this guns were made after WW 1 and something happen in between

but now there is also a single shot rifle 1651 in 8,15x46R and this drilling 325 here I would put in the time between 1900 and 1914

and it becomes worse

Yes, that kind of modern scope do not fit to traditional doubles "soul" but is, in shooting/hunting means, very high quality one. The mounting system seems to be quite OK so I would take them both together without any questions.

12 ga, stock was changed sometimes
http://www.gunstar.co.uk/wilh-collath-slide-action-12-bore-gauge-shotgun/Shotguns/738585

Wilh Collath Slide Action 12 Gauge

Extremely rare in the UK, Wilh Collath of (Söhne), Frankfurt in Germany.

One of leading makers of rifles, sporting guns and proprietary cartridges (Tesco Geschoss).

Collath succeeded Georg Teschner in the 1890s. The company traded until the end of the Second World War. Eccentric Lock action Collath.

This firearm was made between 1920-1939. It is completely original & in great condition. Was brought from Germany to Canada ( dont believe the gentleman pay for the gun) after WW2 & was then brought to N.Ireland in the 1980's.

build as a combination gun with a rear set trigger for the right barrel than changed by "M. OGRIS FERLACH" into a 20 ga double gun and proofed there in 1937 this SN 4400 is without german proof so probably made before 1891/1893

http://www.dorotheum.com/auktionen/aukti...lach.html?img=1

single shot gun with straight rifling, 12,5mm - proably 32 ga.
proofed after 1893

#269795 - 30/08/15 07:06 PM

got some kind of a surprice bag and it contains

a french 11mm Chassepot needle fire cartridge and a belgian 11x53R Comblain with coiled case

think this is called "Bachmann" inside priming

two 14ga paper shells 70mm long what was new for me

a No. 4 Teschner-Collath and a 16 ga pinfire shell

and four, ähmm , things

this are paper cases with a base wad made by rolled paper and my first thought was "Dreyse Schlussspiegel" cartridge but the shot wad is not made by using rolled paper. it looks like some kind of textile with a base cast by using an unknown material so definite not Dreyse. The body of Dreyse paper cartridges is much thinner than the base wad of known "Randschlusspiegel" cartridges.

you can see that the Dreyse Cartridge have a strong step in diameter when the unknown cases here have more or less the same diameter of paper case and base wad.

it looks like there is a brass pin in the primer hole what make me think it can be only an early Teschner cartridge when he was trying to change his needle fire paper cartridge into something more gastight.
something that was modified with a metal base later into the Teschner-Collath shotgun cartridge.in fact a needle fire cartridge having the needle inside of its base.

in any case rare paper shotgun cases from the early 1860s never seen before

shown by the damascus steel barrels this Drilling Cal. 4 and 11,15x65R LK have a low serial number 8960
http://www.wapenhandelwagemakers.nl/shop/product_info.php/cPath/1_23/products_id/292

have not look deeper into this by now but dare to say damascus steel came out of fashion after 1900 because the custumer was asking for nitro proofed guns more and more.

realy great Drilling 8x57 IR(?!)16 ga SN 12687
http://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-fo...;contact_sent=1

"Description:
In 30 years I have not encountered a more interesting gun! Here we have a double rifle drilling (8x57 and 16ga with two leaf sight) with a second set of "normal' drilling barrels double 16ga/ 8x57 under with a single automatic leaf, all bores pristine, all bbls steel nitro proofed for 2 5/8" and 195 grain steel jacketed bullet bore 172.28 (.318" I believe). The mechanism is unique with the hinge all the way at the nose of the forend and obturating discs on the breech face. The barrels slide forward about 1/2" and then hinge open. Butterfly safety of course, barrel selector alongside horn trigger bow. Cartridge trap. All in high original condition except for some worm cavities in the grip cap .. buttplate has none and is very nicely double-edged. The gun is fully engraved with Germanic relief game scenes, handsomely cut, as is the checkering. "Grampa was a gun collector and this was his favorite gun" ... I can see why! 6.5lb as shotgun drilling, 14 1/4" pull 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" drops, 1/
Price: $5,500.00 "

today a 16 ga double gun, SN 7743 its engraved with C(aliber) 3. 11/15
http://egun.de/market/item.php?id=5919475

this gun startet probably around 1895 as a combination gun for the Teschner Collath shotgun cartridge No. 3 - very close to 14 ga and the 11,15x60R Mauser 71 rifle cartridge. I assume it had than damascus barrels.
after the turn of the century it was found strong enough to get new steel barrels for nitro cartridges to shoot the common 16 ga. this work was probably done by an unknown Suhl gunmaker because there is no other name on the barrels.

double gun in No. 3 , SN 6539 without german proof

with another barrels in No. 3 and 10,3mm rifle caliber
notice the steel barrel against the other damascus shotgun barrels. believe this barrels were made in the first years after the double gun was sold but in any case before the turn of 1900 to maybe 1902 when a custumer had order a nitro proofed shotgun barrel in any case.

sold at Kessler auction house/Switzerland last november http://www.kesslerauktionen.ch/Kataloge/Katalog/katalog41.pdf

"fine Early to Mid-20th Century German Drilling, by W. Collath & Sohne, Frankfurt, #17264, 16 ga./8x72R cal., 27-1/2'' blue barrels both choked Imp. Mod., medium relief game scene engraved case hardened frame, with horn triggerguard, pistol grip and buttplate; receiver is nicely decorated with Germanic scrolls, red deer and wild fowl. Patchbox to lower portion of stock is decorated with standing Jaegermeister in wilderness; lid opens to reveal three places for cartridges. Barrels marked with ''(crown)/S'', ''U'' and ''W'' proofmarks, as well as eagle nitro markings, with top of barrel marked ''Wittner/Excelsior''. Factory checkered European walnut cheekpiece pistol-grip stock. The caliber 8x72R is in fact a necked-down variant of 9.3x72R. Condition is fine. Barrel assembly retains approx. 90% blue with most of the losses just above forend. Detail to engraving remains fine, as does checkering, with only minor flat spots from handling and field use. Horn components remain mostly excellent. Buttplate with very small loss at toe. Rear sight blade elevates when rifle barrel is selected. Action remains tight, bores are excellent. Reloading dies are included"

looks like a double gun now with SN 4556 but the engraving speaks about some kind of combination gun for Collath No.3 (14 ga) and 24 ga what was a common bore rifle caliber between 1870 and 1890.maybe there were double rifle barrels or combination gun barrels too for this gun once.

The rifle barrel has been relined to .22 Savage High Power or .219 Zipper but the correct cartirdge has not been determined. The 20 gauge barrels have 2-3/4" chambers. It also has a pop up sight in the rear tang and claw type scope mount bases. The grip cap, butt plate and opening lever are horn. Grey receiver. Bores are in very good condition. The barrels have been reblued. The stock has been changed over to black walnut."

I REALLY like this one - the calibre is fine, as well. It would make a nice hunting rifle for around here.

Appears .45/70 brass could be modified and used.

years ago there was Drilling SN 19447 in 16ga+8x57IR for offer in denmark, unusual drilling without engravings and completly blued only with crown and monogram in gold

it seems the owner like it then because some times later another Drilling SN 21886, 20 /65 and 6,5x58R S&S was ordered and is no for sale also

Beautiful pieces here Lancaster.
To me these older pieces (especially) drillings are living works of art!

no, another cartridge
the 9,3x65R Brenneke is the rimmed 9,3x64 but the 9,3x65R Collath is a special version - shorter and a little bit more powerful - of the 9,3x72R

anual goose hunting I was again in the wrong group because the goose came again to the other side of the water. after a heavy shooting from there and close to complete darkness when we were seeing only the high flying birds and it was very useless to fire one goose came along when my neigbor was saying I make a hit. so I ask for one of the lot the dogs bring out of the water and got it. probably not the one I shot at but the Collath make a lot o noise, smoke and flame and other thought someone shot with sigal flares on the goose. maybe one third SxS, the rest over/under there whats a high rate for SXS today. me the only one with blackpowder shells, 3mm shot self rolled.
I learn my lesson about clean barrels with duplex loads before, little nitro powder load under blackpowder, from "Shooting the british Double Rifle". I had maybe 15 grains of the very clean burning swiss rifle powder under cheap shotgun blackpowder and after 10 shots the barrels were cleaner than shooting only the cheap powder one time. Not that it dont make any dirt but helps realy to have the barrels cleaner than before.

Congratulations on that goose, Lancaster.

Duplex loads can make a HUGE difference in how BP dirties any gun.
with duplex loads, I find a lot less 'caking' or buildup of the powder fouling.

I have try real duplex loads in a modern 12 ga once, iirc, 10 grains unique( what I had then) under 70 grain of cheap blackpowder.
" cheap blackpowder" means one of the brands your barrel looks like a hundred yours old stovepipe after the first shot. I learned from the dublex experience that the bottom powder in a shell will care for the dirt the upper powder is making.
think I load here 15 grains Swiss 2 FFg and top it with 65 grains czech Fg powder. barrel looks surprisingly clean with this, not like nitro but for blackpowder excellent.

btw, next year not with the Collath but the mother of all shotguns if everything will be the ok then

more pice for the top lever drilling
SN is 19064 W.Collath Söhne also for the 7x57 19064, the other barrels with 9,3x72R seems to be old but reworked for this drilling with SN 11803.
maybe the owner of this drilling had the gun 11803 before and it came out of service for some reason so the old barrels was fitted to the new gun and he could use the old 9,3 ammo

If this one is the rimmed version of Herr Brenneke's 9.3x64mm case, it will certainly have a lot of clout!
Not so much for the Collath version - but still a most handsome drilling to say the least!
Virtually unheard of in our country!

That drilling in 9.3x65

It looks like it's had some issues at the head of the stock.

The current bid is pretty low.
I often look at these auctions and wonder how much additional money and time to get it from Europe to the USA

What a versatile firearm.

8mm plus 5.6mm and double barrelled shotgun.

Unusual place for the opening lever. What is this system called?

I have a question for our vierling users. How well does the twin rifle barrels work? In terms of useable impact/regulation? Say at 100 metres, how does the rifles impact differ? Then at say 200 metres, and 50 metres? Obviously with your own rifle, as thy may differ.

The 5.6 mm in my opinion is probably used for 'finer' shooting, on smaller game, so needs more precise shooting. But maybe is the last barrel to be considered?

6x70R - that IS an interesting ctg. I suppose it needs to be of large capacity to get decent ballistics at fairly low pressure, I assume.

the 6x70R Norma is a new cartridge developt to get roe deer legal energy with the lowest pressure

http://old.municion.org/6Mm/6x70R.htm

its the only cartridge bigger than .22 hornet that is recommended in a barrel insert for a classic drilling.

one of the very few guns actually chambered for this round beside of the inserts https://www.einstecklauf.de/classic.html

mother cartridge was the old pre war 6,5x70R, called pencil cartridge because - well you guess why

We have had discussions on the 6x70R here on NE in the past. I will go and have a look.

I was talking about getting Bailey Bradshaw to make me a .22 Hornet double rifle with a second set of barrels in 6x70R. Never finished off the deal/order. Decided not to for certain reasons. HE was offering me a favourable price. Early on in his career. Now he is an accomplished gunmaker, I think that deal would be a multiple!

The 6x70R does not set the velocity tables on fire, that is for sure.

That is one petite rifle & shotgun combo!
Certainly must be overengineered with top class steel & still be like a bank vault to maintain proof (as to its age perhaps pre WW1 ?)
Amazing piece there mate - she's a corker alright!
Any Jäger or Jägerin would be proud to own this one

I am not sure about this coulkd be a teschner - collath or a copy of another maker

14 ga could be Collath No. 3 but SN 37200 don't fit

Ulbricht was a gunmaker from Dresden but he was not the maker of this fine double gun

The front sight of the double rifle drilling barrels looks special

I wonder if the front sight is deployable like the rear, and tucks away from sight when the gun barrel is used

could be and because collath was the firm who invented the automatic rear sight that pop up when you activate the rifle barrel ( whats the norm also today)it would make sense.

https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=19089868

not sure about this "GUST. ULBRICHT DRESDEN" sold 14 ga double gun, the SN 37200 don't fit, could be a copy by another Suhl gunmaker https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail...erlever-shotgun

beautyful gun non the less

this 16 ga +9,3x72R combi gun is a copy by all means
