It appears that the voluntary semi-smokeless load data was overstamped or incomplete?



Appears to be 2,3g G.B.P. /(over) g G.B.P.

when it should read something like:

2,3g G.B.P. /(over) StmG or BlG?

Cheers,

That's a nice so called "Anson-Drilling" with a Heym patented action. What I would like to know is the barrel length and the weight? In those times they were even able to build "schlanke" and goodlooking 12 G Drillings...!

Cheers,
Gunwolf

Thanks Gunwolf. I still have this gun on hold at my friends shop. I will check the barrel length the next time I visit him. I really like the looks of this old drilling and It may come home with me soon.

The horn trigger guard is a nice touch.

Oh my god and it has a greener safety. Good job! What kind of strap are you using and where did you get it?

So is each engraved drillings one of a kind since they were farmed out and built to meet the gun dealers spec's? I know I see a lot of different engraving and very seldom do I see two with same game scene.

R.Marshal,
They "farmed out" special engraving requests( as a general rule), but also had "in house" engravers that applied "standard" patterns, according to the model of the gun( ie Hunting Scene, Scroll, etc.). In house engravers were expected to meet a production standard for the pattern. For the special work, a price would be agreed upon for each job.

Thanks for the general view picture (for which I was teasing you a bit smile )
Seems to be a very nice drilling. Years ago I had a prewar Krieghoff drilling in 12g and it was so lightweight everyone taught it was 16g. Unfortunately it had some deep pits so I let it go.

With kind regards,
Jani
