Max G. Fischer Musselshell DR
      27/08/10 10:54 AM

What a find. Axel is correct on all accounts as the new proof rules went into effect on September 1st, 1911 and this example passed thru some 5 months later. Both of the Fischers of Berlin didn't peddle any junk and they seem to cotton to that type A&D action without the Musselshell side frame reinforcement. I am very surprised to find that a Musselshell DR passed thru the ZM proofhouse and on for Fischer to finish. For the most part the Fischers were one of the few Berlin firms that actually contributed a some effort toward their examples. This new info is going to make us rethink the manner in which the Musselshells were sourced. I'd say that Fischer sourced the components and the contracted a Z-M maker to do most of the work. Are there any initials are stamps the the forend lug? Also what about on the standing breech. Surely a war trophy and a very nice find. I've seen that mark on the lower rib before as well as the "Krupp's Stahl" stamp but I'll have to dig a bit.

Kind Regards,
