Best move-- couldn't discern the first word in German on the barrel- but gewehr is rifle and lauf is barrel, the double barreled aspect (16 gauge perhaps) ist- Doppelflintschroppen I believe- too bad, always the sad element of distrust in firing an older quality weapon some jackleg gunjockey has boogered up !!
