As promised a thread on Franz Jäger to prevent from further corrupting threads like the Immanuel Meffert, etc.

Louis Nappworst in Braunschweig retailed Kipplauf by Franz Jäger

Nappworst is still in business today: https://www.knappworst.com/


Franz Jäger along with the DRP 2553 where the >>2553<< has nothing to do with the Patent and is more than likely a serial number. It is a Jäger - Simson marriage with a long hook but I am not sure which Jäger patent he is touting???? Maybe the hinger pin screw??

Adornment by Engraver Völker as a Modell Nr. 78.

Offered in kalibers from 6mm to 9,3mm along with Mantelgeschoßpatron 6,5X27 and 8X58 1/2( 2 grammes of Blättchenpulver). One interesting chambering noted was 8X57/369, which must be a typo??

More later when I have a few more minutes....
