We were discussing Austro-Hungarian Guns and it seems that few were equipped w Bushed & Diskset Strikers pre-WWII.
Anyone know when or if the Germans equipped the lower grades with Bushed & Diskset Strikers?

A ca 1894 Ferlach cape gun (better quality with monogram) with black powder proof does not have this feature.
But also my modest Merkel 200 Bockbüchsflinte from the 1960s is without this.

I assume, with high certanity, that the Biks / Cape gun is a hammergun?

The proper German term is Hahnbüchsflinte.
And being German myself, I will refuse to adopt any Austrian or Slovenian or whatever Balkanese slang !

I well understand.... Term it as you wish... Yes, proper German Term; Brits were probably the dominate force, so Cape whilst the makers were of Slovenian origin. ![[Linked Image from thumbs2.imgbox.com]](https://thumbs2.imgbox.com/15/da/wRix61EF_t.jpg) 1939 5,6X61R vom Hofe retailed by August Jung but some say almost all were made by Christoph Funk.

Some (many?) of the pre–Great War guns had "gas dickte mutter bolzens" (sp) installed later, after the original "hound's-tooth" Schlag stuck was shown to leak gas and are not original to the gun. The Brits were the dominate force in English language literature but there was a lot of scholarly non-English work published. I've noticed Cape guns have the rifle barrels on the left side, but BFs have the rifle barrel on the right and have ruckstechers.

Fair Point there Ford and I guess I should change the theme to striker progression from >>Hound's Tooth<<(Bear Bryant style Fedora) up to 1950 Diskset Striker? A History may prove most interesting.
To sum up the language variation, the Sun did not Set on the British Empire; they established Hunting Consortiums World Wide; even had a footprint in Argentina.

Too, early on Sauer had a crossbar plate w/ a spring that I think held the strikers in place. I will have to dig a bit to find the one I have or photo.

Raimey,
Hendrik says, the Sauer side lock DF from 1892 already had this feature.
Cheers,

Wolfgang:
Glad to see you are home safely. Lovely sleuthing on the Biksarica, I mean Cape; I mean Hahnbüchsflinte / Büchsflinte. Finally have it correct the 3rd time as the 3rd time is the charm.
So..... What if we exclude Sauer offerings????
