Anyone know what "A./RN" means


It means " am Rhein" = Cologne on The River Rhein

Nice Gun, very good caliber used for light Double Rifles for hunting wild boar on driven hunts in the woods of the Ardennes and the Eifel. It was the rifle pendant to the light belgium boxlock Gun.

Hello Gunwolf,

I'll bet that is a very interesting article. Do you have an English translation? Or, could you retype it here in English so I could read it? smile

buckstix,
it's a pity that you cannot read German. I have no time to translate because I've not yet resigned but perhaps Mike can tell you the story when he moves to Wisconsin......... ;-)

Best Regards,
Gunwolf

I'll do it. Gotta brush up my German (going to Vienna in December to celebrate me and wife's 15 years together), a text with info I'm interested in is a good place to start, and the sense of moral obligation (now that I've promised) will (hopefully) act as an additional motivation. It could take a while, though. smile

Copy-paste ang GOOGLE Translator are good tools to use. I just tested it a little.

OT Thanks, King smile there's a whole lot of books I plan to write one day smile

BTT - I tried to translate the "Hüfte und Taille" bit of the article's title, and came back with "a waist to hip ratio", something referring to fitness I guess. So, lieber Deutchespraechende Forummitbesucher, is it some sort of idiom meaning "fits one well"?

If you want to have a bit of fun, yes.
I'm a professional translator and I never use them.
