The "CFT" stamp on the watertable of this double rifle is interesting, as it points to the real gunmaker who made this rifle for Halbe & Gerlich, Hamburg. This is the fourth gun with this mark I know. First I saw it on the 12/12/7x57R drilling, proofed July 1937 and retailed by Wilhelm Pieter, Halberstadt, that I inherited from my grandfather. I first believed it should be read "TCF" for Teschner - Collath in Frankfurt on Oder, as that drilling, though of conventional design, has a Collath type barrel selector. Then I saw it on an early, 1915, snap action underlever over/under combination that was definitely not "Collath". My research for articles on Collath in "Der Waffenschmied #45" of the German Gun Collectors Association showed that Collath did not use this stamp. But in an earlier GGCA publication a Drilling marked and sold by J.J.Reeb, Bonn, was shown that also has this stamp and bears another small stamp: "C.F.Triebel / Suhl". So all these guns, even this "Halger" double rifle, were actually made by Christoph Friedrich Triebel, Grosse Backstrasse 14, Suhl, founded about 1800 and still existing in 1945. Though there were 45 other gunsmithes named "Triebel" active in the German guntrade at some time or another, the C.F.Triebel company was well known for making highest quality special order guns for many "name" gunmakers.

Just lovely & it was sourced from Christian Friedrich Triebel of Suhl's shop. Can you pleasure us with some images of the flats/underside of the tubes? Where are you near Frankfurt?


Kind Regards,
