R.Marshall It looks like a nice drilling, in spite of the fact that I am a 16 ga. man. It would be helpful if you post additional photos. You should post photos of all the markings, especially the proof marks. To find these, you need to remove the forearm and barrels. The proof marks will be found under the barrels. Also an overall photo would be helpful, because there are several different rifle barrel selectors and we can't tell whether yours is the common type, or something else. Mike

If I read that correctly, DRP Nr. 60215, that is a Heym patent from 5.23.1891:
Dreiläufiges Jagdgewehr mit drei Abzügen und drei auf einer Achse sitzenden Hämmern
So with that, Karl Körmes may have sourced F.W. Heym for this example. We had a thread or threads recently on Büchsenmacher Karl Körmes in Liepzig.
Cheers,

R. Marshall,
I have a few and some things to look at are that the gun is on face and there is no play with the forend off. Same thing you look for on a SXS. I usually put in some dummy rounds with painters tape over the backs and make sure I get good firing pin strikes on all barrels and do it a couple of times to make sure the selector works correctly. Also if the barrel selector raises the rear sight make sure that it also lowers it. Check there are no cracks in the stock or forend and finally that the barrel & ribs are tight.
I like to slug the rifle barrel to make sure I have the right size bullets, also check the chamber length, more likely that not it will be 65mm (use 2 1/2" RST or something similar).
As others have suggested more pics are needed. From what I see the area in the picture showing the maker the solder joint between the rib and barrel looks a bit funny, it appears to be an unusual build up of solder or maybe just oil or grease? I would look this over very carefully to make sure it is not "repair" of some sort.
Other than that start looking for some 8X57 JR ammo and have fun.

R Marshall, FW Heym's patent was the first hammerless drilling, a fact they are still very proud of. The Gun was not necessarily made by Heym, note also that they reference the Anson and Deely system, but they didn't make it either. Note the Heym patent included 3 triggers, and 3 hammers(Haemmern) on one pin( axel "Achse"). The use of the word hammer is a little unusual, now they would likely be called "schlag stueck"( hitting or striking piece). If the drilling had 3 triggers, it wouldn't have a selector. I too am concerned about the same thing WBLDON is. Mike
