This 9.3x74R has been my hunting rifle for many years. It was marketed by H. Scherping in Hannover whom I believe was usually known for upmarket goods. The proofs are the standard B, U, G, and crown over N. The Krupp Stahl barrel carries the 108/49 bore gauge mark and the 3.5g GBP over St.m.G standard proof load for the 9.3x74R. The combination of these marks I believe points to a fairly early date in the 20th century. It has some features which strike me as a little unusual such as the half round barrel with a full length swamped rib with a flip up moon sight; the tang safety; the stock butt finished in the round without a buttplate; the horn part of the pistol grip which is inletted into the stock; the nontypical engraving (at least as I see it); and well, the action itself. The action is basically a Germanized Fraser. Take a Fraser with the side lever off and add an attachment point for an underlever to the trigger plate with a simple link to the breech block, replace the stock through bolt with normal screws in tangs, and, of course, add double set triggers and voila! Does anyone have any information to add on this action?

By that do you mean that the photos are hard copies and not a digital file or you don't know and aren't interested in learning how to post photos in a forum?

HalfaDouble,
With those proofmarks, it was made between 1893 and 1912.

Thanks, Mike, I was figuring 1st decade of the century. Canvasback, I have digital images and post them on sites that have direct downloads but I have no URL directed site available to me and don't really want to get involved in attaching myself to one.

Sounds like a Johann Kalezky? Does it resemble this:

Forward the images to me & I'll get them in view.

Let me know if this cannot be viewed. It seems that Photobucket is attempting to block the direct link also? It appears if you do not have a Photobucket account or are not logged-in that you cannot view the image.

Nope, Raimey. Looks like you've been Photobucketed to "Update your account". Guess that is why many folks have left Photobucket in disgust. I'll send you my jpegs and I'd like to see yours.

Yeah, I think those w/ a Photobucket account can see. Also yes it is the Alex Henry / Johann Kalezky type action. I'll put these on my Photobucket account and will forward any image if that is allowed or permission granted?
