Upon reflection, I think it was made by Collath.

I don't see Collath which used a "slide and tip" locking and this is a traditional Jones underlever " tipping" locking. Two locks and two triggers for 5 barrels is decidedly not traditional, however. I can see firing 4 barrels, but the 5th barrel doesn't seem to be covered by his patent (patent for two barrels with one lock and one trigger, a 5th barrel would need 3 barrels with one lock and one trigger).

This is the only Funflinge I ever heard of no wonder it was in a museum.
Mike I saw one about 30 years ago at a gunshow at the UConn campus in Danbury CT. Going on memory here so not sure if it was for sale or not. I am certain it had a Dural frame, the owner said for weight saving. If I remember correctly it had a SxS, probably 16ga, a large caliber rile underneath, a small caliber centerfire barrel on the right side between the right shotgun barrel and the large caliber rifle, and a .22lr that went down a hollow rib. Internal hammers. Before the days of camera phones so I didn't get a pic.
My problem lies in reconciling my gross habits with my net income.

Recoil Rob,
I never heard of such a gun, but if I were trying to track it down, I would look for an Ernst Kerner gun built on a Meffert Dural frame. He is known to have built Vierlings on Meffert Dural frames. He was a son in law of The Mefferts and son of well-known Emil Kerner, consequently had access to Dural frames as well as the technical curiosity to work out the problems with the hammers/triggers/selectors. Also, his drillings/vierlings were often built on Blitz system, so were not limited to two hammers. Thanks for the info.
Mike

Mike,
The owner called it a "Funfling".
I actually have an Emil Kerner 16ga SxS, little wand of a gun, 29"bbls and weighs about 5lbs 8oz.
