OP TRAKSGUNSMITHING Sidelock Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 38 NEW JERSEY	I was recently given a double 16 gauge shotgun with engraving all over it, I think there were 8 different animals, a hunter behind a tree, and a barn scene. I have not had anytime to take the pictures of it yet, but if anyone has knowledge of this gun maker... "L. FORTENBACH...MUNCHEN" I will send pictures to you. Thank you for your time. Sincerely Kurt

I would assume his heir or assign was at the helm when you Franz J�ger variant was made. http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=287239&page=4 Kind Regards, Raimey rse

The dog holding the roe buck while der J�ger approaches and the rabbits flying in all directions paints a couple of fun pictures. It's nice to see something a little different (with regard to game scenes) every once in a while. Buchseman

My guess is Henrik would already know this. Buchseman (... Baumgarten)
