Jani:
Is the frame typical Ferlach possibly sourced from the Genossenschaft der Büchsenmachermeister or might it be a gesteck from Suhl? Anyway, at 1st glance it seems odd that the preliminary mark for the 1st firing of the intertwined EF to be on the flats and not higher on the tubes. Then the mark of the crowned shield notes the 2nd firing followed by the double headed imperial eagle with a "1" on its breastplate. These are all correct in sequence and it was in September 1929 that the NP sub f, for Ferlach, became the final proofmark. Still a full image of the water table may aide in solving the puzzle. NICHT FÜR KUGEL & JEN PRO BROKY just note some degree of choke.
I wonder if the TK notes one of the Krnka Boys?? I don't know if there was a T. Krnka or not. Also didn't the Weipert proofhouse close in 1954?
Kind Regards,
