I am looking for help on the date this gun was manufactured. The stamps on the barrels and action differ. Is the gun proofed in 46 or 59. To confuse things further I found a list online that showed the maker number to be 22?

Appears the tubeset & water-table wear a date of 1959.

46 - Josef Schonlieb, so he must have made it for Josef Hamsbrusch or acquired the concern?

Too, there should be a preliminary datastring higher up or further out on the lower rib. See if you might obtain an image of that.

This 1959 Hambrusch #1040 was a two barrel set. The other barrel was proof number 3246.

OK 3245 is the proof number. 46 ( not 22 ) is the Maker number and 59 is the year.

Jani, I did see a 1 on the barrels and wondered about that.

I appreciate all the info!

Mark,
Not quite. 3245 is the proof number of the barrel number 1. Barrel number 2, not a part of this sale, should be proof number 3246. The proof number on the water table (action/receiver) is a combination of these two numbers. 59 is the date of proof 1959 of course. I can see no maker's code, which was not mandatory by 1959 anymore; the maker choose to apply his full name on the rib instead.

Cheers,
Jani
