It's a "Nimrod" TM safety gun by Thieme & Schlegelmilch, Suhl, 1852 – 1945. 1890 DRPatent # 56753 by Jacob Roehmer, Suhl, transferred to Thieme & Schlegelmilch the same year. Competed with little success with the more popular "Hubertus" safety guns, made by I. Meffert, Suhl, to forester Franz Feist's 1879 DRPatent # 7142.




BTW, this Meffert "Hubertus" was bought new by my grandfather's grandfather in 1893. Grandpa had two new sets of barrels made by E.Krausser, Zella - Mehlis, in 1940: Side by side 16-70 and combination 6.5x52R aka .25-35 Winchester - 16-70. Original damascus barrels destroyed by a GI in 1945.
