M4's latest possible acquisition that I guess was made in the mid to late 1880s. Any one else think it is sort of Lindner like? At first glance the engraving conjures up Hugo Kolb's name.

Very interesting early 16 ga boxlock with Birmingham bbl's,29 1/2" with H Scherping & Hannover enscribed on them, intercepting sears (note: upper screw height, centerlined on the upper profile line almost at bore centerline) Gun is in the process of getting a good cleaning & look over right now. Will try to add some better pic's after the bath! Also note the extra work over the action shoulders, would be a lot of work like arcaded fences! This was a very nice gun in its time and still is after 120+ years and I look forward to a walk in the woods with it some day soon!

Seems that when the gunmaking business in Herzberg dried up and apparently to renew the royal warrant one had to have an address in German that the Tanner boys went their separate ways with Hermann to St. Petersburg and E.H. & Otto going to the Breslau/Liegnitz/Groß-Glogau area. Piotr J. Bochynski & I were exchanging info he sent me this advert.



E. H. Tanner - Groß-Glogau / Hlohov 1892 Advert

In 1880 E.H. Tanner filed DRP 13098 for a rear diopter.
