Maybe some lubricant as they are tough to convince to motion. Sometimes the device is seen on weapons with multi-tubesets but changing would seem to be slow. The bar of the "T" in the circular hole is supposed to drop in the well so maybe a small amount of downward force there while the top of the "T" will be perpendicular to the tubeset. But when the "T" bar comes into battery, it is a snap and a pretty tight fit.

yes, amazing paralell to the 10,75x52 R Gründig, in any case a full power nitro cartridge you will find in a strong break action only. Harald wolf had told me that the Springer Double Rifle he had in his hands was made from Francotte. I dont had such a DR in my hands till now but with a little bit more time I can probably find the gentleman the custum ammo was made for.
started a research on nitroexpress once to learn more about this cartridge, someone may know it

"I've just miked the barrels and I'm getting just under 11mm at the bore and just under 12mm at the chamber end."

sounds more like a 11,15x52R LK to me, 11mm barrel diameter is small but we will see what sluging and chamber casting will show

LK, that has been a hot topic as of late. Finding another J. Springer/A. Francotte would be just lovely, specifically if it has the unique wood to tubeset latch. Are we sure of the chamber length, 52mm?

I sprayed some Gunscrubber around the tee piece and then tried tapping on the round end with a piece of dowel and a hammer. It finally opened!! I think the main problem was congealed grease. It's probably been a long while since this gun was last maintained.
I really appreciate the help and information I'm getting here. After I do a chamber cast I'd like to try and round up some ammunition. This gun is too nice not to shoot. I'll take and post some pictures as soon as I can.
Regards
Jim

Yeaaaaaaaahhhhhhh, pleasure us with some images of the marks and of the device itself. Like I said, the device just doesn't like to conform to motion.

I wonder if Franz Denk of Wien peddled clocks also or was it possibly his father: http://www.artnet.com/artwork/426055449/...aterndluhr.html

It must have been his father, or relative, who just may have been a master clock maker( Bürgerlicher Uhrmacher? ) from 1795 to the mid 1820s. Most of the clocks with Franz Denk's name are in the 1820s.

An interesting stamp atop this Franz Denk of Wien peddled example:
"FRANZ DENK IN WIEN K. u. K. .... LITÄR SCHIESSSTÄTTE"(his shooting grounds or school???)

I assume they can read German and the phrase to be: "LITÄR SCHIESSSTÄTTE" as listed. Maybe Franz Denk had a firing range?? But I had not known that Franz Denk to receive a royal warrant, nor have I seem him listed yet.

Geno:

I noticed that credit was attributed to you for the early Auguste Francotte images of a double. Do you know if it was from the mid 1860s? There doesn't appear to be a serial number nor a patent number associated with the forend attachment, unless the T handle is really worn. I wonder who Auguste Francotte's frame source or frame filer might have been.

Did not the use of rebounding hammers commence circa 1867?
