HEINRICH SCHERPING ~ 9.3x72R N ~ HAMMER DOUBLE RIFLE

HEINRICH SCHERPING ~ 9.3x72R N ~ HAMMER DOUBLE RIFLE joins the family

I love little German Double rifles and this Scherping is a real Dandy in Minty condition. You can read about Heinrich here on the German Guns Forum. It features the History about Scherping and shows this double rifle and other examples of this Master Gun Maker.

The 9.3x72R cartridge is an old-World cartridge dating back to the 1890's. Ballistically it is about equal to the 35 Remington cartridge. Loaded with Factory 193g bullets, or 200g modern bullets, its very capable of taking Deer and Bear and Boar, and perhaps Elk, with a well placed shot.

Here are the specs:

Action is Top Lever Round Body w/ English Scroll Engraving w/ Rebounding Hammer Back-Action Locks w/ Greener Cross Bolt
Double Triggers w/ both Set-Triggers
Metal Condition is Very Good to Excellent w/ much Original Finish remaining
Highly Figured European Walnut Stock w/ a few Handling Marks w/ Cartridge Trap on Stock Bottom w/ Buffalo Horn Butt Plate
LOP is 14 inches to Front Trigger
Barrels are 27 inches w/ Matted Full Wide Rib
Sights are 2-Position Toggle Rear Site w/ Flip-up Tang Site and Platinum Bead Front Site w/ Ivory Bead Flip-up Moon Site
Bore Condition is Very Good to Excellent w/ 6-groove Henry Style Rifling
Weight is 6 lbs 11 ounces

The rifle is now cased in an All Leather Trunk Case. Field test to follow next week.
