Gunwolf: I can't help you with your question but that is a very pretty gun. I have often wondered why the German gunmakers made their trigger guards from horn. To me they are not nearly as attractive as a metal trigger guard but clearly that's just my opinion. I think the horn just detracts from what otherwise is a very pretty gun.
Socialism is almost the worst.

Buzz, of course it's a matter of taste, but it's tradition in Europe as well. I like it, especially in the cold. ;-)

Gunwolf,
The form is clearly Ferlach, probably early post WWII. The markings are a bit fuzzy but 26 could mean Jakob Koschat.
With kind regards,
Jani

Full pipe side-frame reinforcement on a Kerner-Anson action & Ferlach preliminary stamps, I'd say it was pre-WWII or right after. There is additional info there, just a bit fuzzy as you say. What's on the action flats/water table? Probably have to remove the wooden side panels with a proper turnscrew & there will be marks there.
Jani:
Was horn triggerguard bows typical on Ferlach offerings?
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Raimey: Yes, horn triggerguard was typical on Ferlach offerings (for an additional fee).
With kind regards,

Jani, Raimey,
many thanks! Think you are right with Koschat.
On the watertable there are the german proof stamps of 1958. That was only some years after Germans got the permission to own guns again.

Post the Ferlach datastrings & the maker should be apparent.
Kind Regards,
