Every time I read advertising on a longarm that it >>was made inspected, made, manufactured by __________<<, I have even more reservations that the person named contributed much effort. But the possibility always exists that effort was contributed with the EH initials?

I'd say Edgar Hübner was more of a stamper than a maker?

Thanks Raimey!
Yes, in the case of this gun, you are right - but of course he was also a maker, who joined the Bühag in 1950.

Edgar Hübner & Edgar Strempel were contemporaries and I think both worked @ BüHag so I wonder if they worked in concert on wares @ BüHag?

My personal unbiased opinion, but Strempel was the essence of Lindner, but he dabbled more in sidelocks than the perfection platform of the A&D Body Action.

Raimey, Edgar Strempel became member of the Bühag in 1950, the same year as Edgar Hübner.
The Bühag, founded in 1949, was a cooperative of Suhler gunmakers. For them, it was the only chance to stay as a freelance gunmaker in the communist DDR (German Democratic Republic)! They kept on making their guns on their own, got their parts from the cooperative and later sold their guns through the Bühag. By the way, the Bühag provided Meffert systems only to their members. You will not find any Bühag stamped gun with another action! Meffert provided their actions always with four times locked action in contrary to Merkel, which made only their higher priced guns with that.

Cheers,
Wolfgang

Wolfgang:


Most interesting but „Simson" or „Meffert"? And can you point to the reference for chapter & verse? Odd to that Otto Reif was run out on a rail 'bout this time.
