No wonder you did what you did luv2safari!
That is one exquisite piece of kit there - the engraving is superb to say the least!
As it's next custodian you should be justly proud of such a wonderful piece of history.
Speaking of such, it must have an interesting history with a crest on it, if you find out more please post this up.
When you do get a chance I'd suggest a cast of all the chambers & twist rate - as this may point you in certain directions as to paper, brass or plastic hulls; as well as what projectile weigh to use.
As to the 10.5X47R (if you find this correct), can you tell us a bit more about it please?
I'm assuming all loads will be with BP?

I have seen this monogram before, but I can't find my information on the Prussian nobility monograms.

The coronet is in keeping with a Baronial title, I believe. I'll be researching it further, until I find an answer or a dead end.

Kaiser and King Strasbourg U Baden

Hi luv2safari. Nice drilling. Thanks for posting and sharing it with us. I was wondering about the crest, the Kaiser was of course Prussian. If the crest is from the Baden Baden / Strassbourg area, he wouldn't have been Prussian? Unless that Principality / region was a Prussian possession? Perhaps one of our knowledgeable German members would know, or larcher who lives very close by in what is now France. The border changing there again and again.

luv2safari, I can't remember, did I buy just barrels from you or the Tikka 512? Used the U/O shotgun on a Naval Military Club twilight shoot last night. I think it was barrels on reflection. Have resorted to the U/O shotgun as I am not shooting well with my side by sides recently.

Good to see the clays breaking this time.
