I have a 16 ga., hammerless, double with a trigger plate lock and a rather complicated cocking system employing a forestock under lever. The top barrel rib is marked in silver "A. Kirchhof in Schmiedeberg". No proof or other marks.

Schmiedeberg is in Saxony near Dresden. A reference from about 1890 indicates A. Kirchhof as a Master Gun Maker.

I would appreciate a first name or any other information about this maker.
