Hi all, I just happened to see this and it really caught my eye. What's your opinion on this one? Sure looks like a quality piece to me. Then again, I'm no German gun expert.

All the best!

Very high quality gun with lovely piece of walnut. It is highly unlikely that 70mm chambers are Suhl shop original.

I'm pretty sure that is Wetzlaub & Jadg, http://www.gravuren-amthor.de/amthor/fro...ulnd5u670o64ho0 , type engraving with Jadg being the game scene on the sideplates of the A&D boxlock. Being devoid of sling swivels and name and steel type names on the case placard, I would guess it was an export sporting arm and possible for the U.S. of A., but it still has cocking indicators which may not be noticed. If so, there is a pretty good probability that the chambers are 70mm and I would ask for a image of the flats and of the ejector/extractor.

Kind Regards,

Raimey

It's definitely an attractive piece, and in high condition to boot.
