hipwr223,

Thank you for taking the time to show us the addition pics. It doesn't look like there are any initials on the barrels just aft of the forend lug but that interesting stamp on the foot of the bottom rib just forward of the barrel lugs may be just the thing to get moving on your ID question. The GGCA (German Gun Collectors Association) has a core group of research types such as Kuduae (Axel)and Raimey that have or have access to a great deal of information on the early European gunmakers and suppliers to the European gunmaking trade. There are already some theories as to which firms were producing the "clamshell" (MuzzelverSchluss - "musselshell") receivers and making their own guns as well as selling their receivers to other firms. It has been one of the more difficult mysteries to try to solve. The early German gun trade is full of such mysteries and we're always learning something new. If you're not a member of the GGCA already, check it out. You'll appreciate your new find even more when you learn more about where it came from. If you have the time to head up to the Vintagers / World Side-by-Side Championship and Double Rifle Championship in Queenstown, MD - Pintail Point September 23rd to 26th, the GGCA will have a booth there. Many members will be there and available to answer as many question as they can. There are also some scheduled "round table" discussions were members and non-members are welcome to take part or just listen. It's good stuff. OK, enough of the plug

When you get around to it, let us know how your gun shoots.

Regards,

Buchseman
