Nice, but the Monte Carlo butt with the ventilated pad looks awfully "post-war".
The scope is post-war, too.

yes, you are probably right about the monte carlo stock. doesn't look pre war and I had mixed emotions when seeing the gun. post the rifle because of the rare chambering and because its a good example how flexible they were in pre war time's in Suhl.
You know that I don't realy warmed up with Bockwaffen but untouched pre war combo's being also pc.
the scope deserve a closer inspection and will maybe fit for most hunting situations.

will see if someone goes with this very high starting bid, valuable combination gun but for a special taste

btw, good possibility to post the swiss catalog page about the 9,3x53R if you have it now.

Nice rifle/shogun. Seems to me the 9.3x53R has the same or similar ballistics to the factory 9.3x57- same capacity as well. Both were loaded to less than 40,000CIP IIRC.

true for the 9,3x53R Finnish but the 9,3x53R Swiss isn't more than a hot 9,3x72R load. this two cartridge's may look similar but playing in two different league's. the Swiss round is a roe deer and
chamois cartridge from a time when wild boar and reed deer were almost non existent in Switzerland.
notice that the 9,3x53R Swiss is the rimmed version of a 7,5x55 open up to 9,3mm. the measurement's are very close to a 7,62mm Mosin basic case but this is pure coincidence.

Here is a "brother" of the gun above: Also by E.Schmidt & Habermann, ESHA, Suhl, also 9.3x53RSwiss / 16, proofed July 1927, same Kersten + double underbolting, same boxlock action with Kerner's top-mounted sears and cocking indicators, original stock. Granted, the action is filed up a little bit different, the engraving is much less elaborate, the wood is plain and it has a lot of rust pitting on the outside, but still fine insides. When it came to me, it was without a scope, so I claw-mounted a post-war Hensoldt DIATAL 4x32 on the original bases. The whole outfit set me back only about 7% of the asking price of the ESHA above.

lancaster, you are right when you work from the tables! The 9.3x53 Swiss, rimmed or rimless, was loaded with 200gr pointed boat-tail softpoint or solid bullets in front of 50gr of an unknown smokeless powder, first two cartridges on the left. Most of the 9.3 Swiss barrels have 9.3x72R rifling dimensions, as on two Zella-Mehlis made o/u combinations with weak lockup I know. My ESHA is different: It has six lands .356" diameter, and 6 wide grooves , .366" diam. So apparently ESHA chambered a barrel already rifled for the 9.3x74R to the Swiss cartridge. As action and barrel dimensions are quite massive and the lockup is as strong as that of any modern Merkel o/u, I am a little more daring. Indeed I make my cases from 7.62x54R Moisin-Nagant S&B brass, by thinning rims on a lathe, necking up and fireforming. By coincidence the result is something like a slightly "improved" 9.3x53R Finnish. Third cartridge from left is a load I tried first, a 193gr RWS 9.3x72R bullet in front of 50gr N140. Fourth is the "working load " for the time being, a 255gr Geco soft nose in front of , again 50gr N140. The old Kemira/Vihtavuori recommended max. load for for the 9.3x53R Finn was a 255gr SAKO bullet in front of 51.1gr N140, for 2300 fps.

BTW, I don't like over-unders either, but this ESHA gun intrigued me.

your reason's about your +P loading are clear and understandable. do you had the chance to use this load on heavy game ?
the old 16,5 geco softpoint is becoming a rare bullet now.

I try to bid on it when it surface on egun but people are willing to pay the double price of what it was cost 10 year's ago.
to much for a bullet I probably cant get again when stock end's and how much are 100. not enough when you start to develop a load with a bullet and make more than 3 shot's a year. it seems that I come to Finland next summer and will get a bigger supply of the 16,6 gramm Sako softpoint then.
I had pics of a Suhl made Kipplaufbüchse in 9,3x53R for the swiss market and now in possession of a german hunter but it was lost on my hardware.

No, I did not yet take it out for hunting, as my work on that gun is still in slow progress. Perhaps I will make a sizing die to resize lighter .375" bullets to .366. Instead, I used my 9.5x57 M1910 Mannlicher-Schoenauer today to kill a boar.
