Posting for William Glass - note that C.

Possibly a >>Donor Gun<< with those holes in the locks?

Little if any info is to be found on ole Carl/Karl Otto...... ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/3a/bd/Ik6ZbsYv_t.jpg) >>C. Otto, Laucha/Thüringen um 1760. Achtkantiger, leicht gestauchter und siebenfach gezogener Lauf im Kaliber 17,5 mm mit eingeschobener Visierung. Über dem Pistonsockel signiert "C. Otto a: Laucha".

Maybe there is another City named Laucha somewhere???? ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/c4/66/BM1rkW8I_t.jpg) \ I believe this to be the Z-M datecode and is >>4.07<<(April 1907) as it is in the correct location and would suppert EB making it.... So a mechanic named Carl Otto made guns from 1760 to 1907 and he isn't listed anywhere. I am missing something somewhere. Maybe he had an alias..... Serbus, Raimey rse

This gun is all #'s matching. The number 407 is stamped on all the metal. Etched deep enough you could make music rubbing your credit card against the barrel. I have no idea you made this underlever but it is nice. Bought from a collector estate that did not know anything about it. Any information or History would be nice. Bill

After Thinking about it the date code seems right because not only is the 407 under the forearm it is also stamped ahead of it in the same place between barrels.

If you could use the >>Macro<< mode on your phone or snap a foto thru a magnifier, it may reveal a decimal between the >>4.07<<. If so, it would be a datecode. If not, then a serial number.

looked at and there are no decimal point and the marks are the same as you referenced above on the flats. Bill

![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/21/ec/YpworaAA_t.jpg) Repair early on in the prooflaw period. ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/e6/46/e0S8VZPD_t.jpg) ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/7a/76/tDaB25Uc_t.jpg) ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/64/70/SyhXSDKX_t.jpg) Yes, Emil Barthelmes Zella St. Blasiis made this. ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/a1/e8/vveAfilT_t.jpg) I realize it would be really odd to have a gun with serial number >>407<< being dated >>4.07<< but just from an image perspective and considering the spacing between the 4 & the 07, it just appears there is a dot but it could easily be an optical illusion.
