That means I was right in my guess that it was a sort of a ball-and-shot thing. Sigott could've made a pile on it from 1885 to 1899, when the Paradox was still covered by Fosberry patent. But in 1932, I guess, a gold medal of a trade fair was about the only gold he could've made out of this design.

Hump T Dump:
Have you seen anything akin in Russia?
I believe the info Jani located gave the 1907/1908 period when Johann Sigott began his wonder boring. With it being a Johann Sigott tube and adverts that Sigott had an expensive wonder method for addressing your tubes to make them pattern better, the example just about has to be Sigott's design. He advertises to modify your tubes so it must be a slight alteration to the tube thickness.
Kind Regards,

Got to be some machinists/tool & die guys in the viewer-ship. Anyone want to make a stab as to how it was cut, coarse, fine, single pass, chiseled out with a hammer?
Kind Regards,

No. Given how much attention Russian sporting press gives to ball-and-shot guns (what with limitations on rifle ownership), and how much stuff has been brought in after WW2, it tells me that there weren't very many such guns made.

My previous post has not been completely accurate. I did a quick Google search and discovered two Sigott guns with Sigott rifleing in Russia. Here's one   Interestingly, it's a combination gun, with 9.3x72 in the right barrel. Follow the link to see pics of another http://forum.guns.ru/forummessage/2/119537.html

As for the method of rifleing, I guess first the spiral grooves were cut, then straight grooves running parallel with the barrels were cut over them.

Excellent effort. So this would mean Johann Sigott would have either had a barrel making machine or had access to the Ferlach Consortium. So it is the right tube with the alteration having a single set trigger.   I can't really read the date but it appears to be either 1902 or 1908 with Not For Ball on the flats.   Imperial Eagle on top of the tubes reminds me of Novotny? Kind Regards, Raimey rse

Got a 403 Forbidden error but thanks for the effort. What might be the Russian website:
