German (Englebert Clever) double
      #90502 - 04/12/07 12:51 PM

This little double is signed Englebert Clever, Nachf. It weighs 6 lbs. and has 22" barrels. It was orgionaly a 6.5x58sauer. During the war it was damaged as the stock was busted up and the forend was lost. In the fifties, My Dad fit a forend and ground a 30-40 krag reamer to a 6.5 and rechambered the gun. It's regulated with 100gn. bulets and a load simiar to a win 25-35.

A real beauty, Dale! Is the triggerguard made of horn?

Good hunting!

What a little beauty. Small bores are my favourites.

Great pictures also.
