Greetings, all
I'm trying to identify a double rifle for a friend of mine. He was a medic in WWII and brought it back from Germany. It is quite attractive and fairly light for a double. It appears to be a .375, maybe flanged, maybe H&H, but I'm not 100% certain about that; I just measured the muzzle with a ruler and eyeballed the chamber.
Without taking it apart, the only really distinguishing verbage is "H LINK WHITTENBURG" engraved along the top of the rail that separates the two barrels. I couldn't find a serial number or a manufacturer's stamp or anything.
when i break the action open, there are numbers in a format xxx.xx written on the inside
Also, it has hammers, and isn't an underlever.
Any assistance will be much appreciated.
I can be contacted at tom@taliv.net
regards,

I dont' know the maker, but suspect that the caliber may be a 9.3 mm (0.366 caliber) since the gun is probably from Germany or Austria. Possibly 9.3X72R or 9.3X74R. These cartridges are flanged. Take a close look at the extractor, and you will see if it is made for a flanged cartridge or not.
