Kuduae, very interesting info on the Bolhig gunmakers, thanks. Bohlich is the spelling on the baptismal record in Zella but we have found Bohlig, Bolig, Pohligh and Polig as alternate spellings. Valtin also has alternate spellings, Valentin and Valentine. Those Bolhigs that you listed could very well be cousins.
Would Collath have had gunsmiths working in house for him at this time or did he do his own work? Or did he farm out the work to the guild workers? It is my understanding that Wilhelm Collath died about 1906-1907 and someone told me that the guns were marked differently after his death. If thats the case would the rifle have been restamped after 1910 when in for rework or repair? Or do you think it was finished sometime between 1910-1913 before law the proof changed?
The barrel measures .309 bore and .323 groove, would it have been recut for 8x57S?
I apologize for all the questions. I truly appreciate everyones imput on this thread. I'm finding the history of the rifle very fascinateing, two weeks ago I knew nothing about it.
Thank You again!
