I wonder what happened to the rest of that German, as well as what happened to Brit that used to live in that case?

In case anyone is interested in starting to decipher the marks on that gun... http://www.shotguns.se/html/germany.html

I had it for years, the rest of the gun might be in Moncton. The lady's husband died years ago, and the house was completely renovated after her death. It would be interested in knowing who did the work and if they found the rest.

Very scarce barrels, especially on this side of the Atlantic. I have an old Stephen Grant gun that might fit that case. Would you be interested in selling the case only. Tnx, Jim

 

[albayo]

Yes I might sell it I am not going to use it so it should go to someone who appreciates it.

You would think with a case the gun would have remained all in one place. What a shame. Very interesting and begs the question; why build such a gun? Thanks for the photos.
