So now if we can locate the engraved H. Barella #5914 we could mate it with its case??? Can we assume that scattergun #5329 was unadorned??? The engraving on scattergun #5329 looks Germanic. Also why the time difference between September and November on the 2 receipts? Why 2 stamps on the 1st with one being signed? Could the firearms merchant Amrusch have been holding goods of Fred W. Hicks valued at 8k schillings until the scope was fitted??? I wonder if the forend wood mates with the stock? I know, I know, more questions than answers but I do concur that the jeweling was an attempt at concealment by a peddler in the U.S. of A. So is there a consensus that this is a spurious scattergun?
What would have been the value of the longarm ordered in 1927?
Kind Regards,
