Very nice! However, I request to be the one to test fire those rifles so that no one else will be put at risk.

Unless the rear sight on the second example is niello (or similar) it's definitely out of context.

Nicely re-built, both of them. They were both in pretty rough shape and it cost a lot of money to re-furbish both guns, I'd expect. I wonder if the wood on the first, is original.

The bores - I wonder how they look? Might have been an important deciding factor in 'making price' or not. Being that rough (originally) on the outside, might mean VERY nasty inside.

The rear sight (second) is rather odd, isn't it. The first one rather elaborate for an elevator sight - looks rather nasty on a DR, to me, when one might expect nicely slim express sights.

Did everyone notice the single set triggers? - adjustment screws quite notable?

Daryl:
Also the shape of the front trigger, your finger just naturally slips off of it to the rear trigger, nice.

Nice!

The 'frosted' muzzles of the second gun appear it might be salvagable for lapping and using black powder rounds with soft bullets, but we don't know about possible pitting,m which could most assuredly occur, further down the tubes.

the second rifle is heavy reworked. the rear site is a new one and the second site was brocken once and is the rest of complete ring. very unlikly that such a rifle dont had checkering!

the elevator site on the first double looks interesting to me, give this one an ancient look.

I didn't notice that, but you are absolutely right.

I favor the Funk. I owned a Funk 2 3/4" 10 ga double shot gun ca. 1925. It was really nice, sold it last year.

Damn, you are doing pretty well if you owned it in 1925 and just sold it last year!
