Raimey,

You have really made my day with your wealth of information. I'm actually kind of speechless at the moment in that it's hard to know where to start with all the questions I have about the many German pieces in my collection. Just for example, the names you have rattled off had me thinking about my Christoph Funk percussion Jaeger rifle (Circa 1830 -1840). Then there is the two Imman Meffert pieces, one a Dural frame Vierling (1938) and the other a Bockbuchsflinte (1928). There is also a very nice 1926 Thieme & Schlegelmilch Bockdoppelflinte.

Back to the subject piece:

The receiver is steel. The only clue I have to the approximate date of manufacture is the "Leg-O-Mutton" case that came with it. The case has a journal written in English (in ink that's very difficult to read) that starts with the underlined date of 1917. After that it lists by month and date the location and the game taken by the individual. For example the sixth entry reads: May 21st Adenau (Germany) one wild boar at 200. I can't make out if the 200 is in yards or meters. It certainly seems like a long shot if that's what it's saying.

Thank you again,

Marcus (Buchseman)
