Ah, about 35 minutes on AL Hwy #157 from Florence to Cullman. I pass by your house quite often and will again on the 12th of November headed to Kansas. There's a gunshow in Florence near the end of October I may attend. My email is in my profile.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Suhl is one of many gunmaking areas in Germany- Krupp Flusstahl is "Fluid steel", Germany's answer to Britian's Sir Joseph Whitworth Fluid Compressed Steel--

Peter, a most interesting example as to me it seems reveal an early sourcing relationship between Teschner and the craftsmen at Suhl/Zella-Mehlis. I wonder if it is an early example and am curious what effort Sturm offered. I think that German patents were accepted in 1877?
