I know little more about it other than the barrels measure 29.5". Hopefully the stampings on the barrels and flats will be helpful. Thank you in advance for any information.

If not, probably made just prior to WWI. Looks like it experienced proof in the final state. I don't recognize the tube maker right off but I'll look. Any stamps on the receiver? Cheers, Raimey rse

OP Snipe Hunter Sidelock Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 433 Likes: 42 The Snipe Lodge	I asked for pictures of other stampings on the barrels, top rib, water table and this is what I got. Will it be possible to find out the maker, age, or much else?

Not sure on the maker but it reminds me of an August Sch�ler but I can't put my hands on an August Sch�ler catalogue at the moment. Cheers, Raimey rse
