Nice one I think. .577 Gustav Richter S/S Hammer Double Rifle - Pre 1898 Top lever action with back action side locks, barrels of 27,6' marked to "Gustav Richter Breslau". Barrels haves two leaf rear sight as well as folding tang mounted peep sight. Hunting scenes engraved to action, hammers and lock plates. Horn trigger guard with adjustment screws to triggers. Chequered fore-end and semi-pistol grip, cheekpiece and chequered horn buttplate to stock. Mint bores, very good original condition overall. A top grade rifle with excellent bores. If anyone knows any info on the maker I would appreciate any and all help. Last edited by Mike Harrell; 08/17/22 04:59 PM.

I do wonder since the name of Wroclaw is Breslau, the German version, if it wasn't sourced from a German mechanic? Piotr J. Bochyński would know I am sure. I think Mr. Neuberger posted his email contact in the thread below. https://www.doublegunshop.com/forum...p;Words=pitor&Search=true#Post580374 Serbus, Raimey rse
