doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion German & Austrian Sporting Guns @ doublegunshop.com Best German sidelock. Impressive!

Now that is a gem with what looks to be the as well as >>Galand Nose<< or „Fermeture Liègeoise“, but without the extractor rod out, it could be the ole „Purdey Nose“. Lovely wood & straight hand stock w/ Anson Pushrod forend w/ ejectors. A Money Makers Made in the late in the 1st Major Dissagreement in Europe up to 1923. I would actually bound in the early 1920s. Unique water-table lockup that looks to be adjustable?

Appears the lug to water-table/action flats >>Crossbar<< might just be adjustable¿¿


Wears either the >>Galand Nose<< or „Fermeture Liègeoise“ or basic ole >>Purdey Nose<<.

70mm chambers



Novel something in the water-table well contained in the crossbar.

Being a bit nostalgic, the topic of >>Galand Nose<< or „Fermeture Liègeoise“, >>Purdey Nose<< is about the last topic I remember Mr. Larry Brown posting on last year as far as my Rabbit Chases.

Well, as it turns out it actually is a Sheep in Wolf's clothing..... It is a Belgian Sourced Gesteck, or in the white, and finished in German with one of the most talented engravers from Suhl, Erhard Hohnbaum, providing the elegant, tap, tap, tap.

I will look @ the pin configuration and see what in Liége might match.

I didn't notice right off, but that Best Belgian Beauty Sidelock has a Bloody single trigger.







Neat that the W. Förster 9 pin sidelock has his name in a banner on each sidepate we well as a >>Cocking Arrow<< on the tumbler.

As I recall, Wilhlem Förster & Frantisek Faukner a Spoločnosť s ručením obmedzeným v Praze sourced Belgian Platforms to pad their bottom $. Forgeron probably filled most of their orders, but I will have to look.



Just trying to compare/contrast the two forms of adornment.

I have it on good authority that Hartmann & Weiss may have acquired the name of Wilhelm Förster or his >>stuff<<???
