Can anyone give me any info or direct me to a source or reference for more info on 3 barrel shotguns? I'm particularly interested in learning more about these guns built by August Schuler.
Thanks.

Do you want to know about the Company August Schuler or about one of his examples/drillings(post some pics)? Does it have 2 scattergun tubes and a rifle tube?
Kind Regards,
Raimey

I bought a 3 barrel gun by Schuler - all 3 barrels are 16 ga. I'm interested to learn more about Schuler and the gun. Didn't know if there are any good references out there that people knew of on the topic.
Thanks.

In 1935 there was an advertisement noting that August Schüler had been in business for 100 years. Of course it is not possibly for the same August Schüler that we associate with German longarms to be that person and he took the reins of a company circa 1850 and the name could have been “August Schüler”(or renamed to) as he was the younger brother of Christian Friedrich Schüler who indeed did have a gunmaking business in 1835 and some accounts give the name Friedrich Wilhelm Schüler. Friedrich Schüler was also a gunmaker but had not earned his brief by 1840. Christian Friedrich Schüler was listed as having a manufacturing facility and also fabricated pickles or vinegar. Possibly their father or grandfather was named August Schüler and Christian Friedrich’s business was named “August Schüler” or either August Schüler took over the business and renamed it circa 1850. Without a few pics I don’t know when your drilling was made, but circa 1900 Friedrich Schüler and his son Oskar were running the business, which was turned over to Oskar just before WWI. By this time Oskar’s son Richard was in the family business. But using the same name of Friedrich Schüler over 100 years really does complicate things. Also in 1880 there was a gunmaking business founded by Oscar and August Schüler and I think this was the same company that Friedrich Schüler, Oscar & Richard Schüler ran. Some times the stamp “ASS”, August Schüler Suhl, is seen.
I don't think there were many of the drillings made with all scattergun tubes. I've seen a few hammerguns and it sort of defeats the purpose of the mixed bag longarm. But nothing wrong with it and I for one, think I would like to own one. Post some pics and maybe someone will have some info.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Raimey,
Thanks very much for your info. I've tried posting a pic of the gun, but am not having much luck (I'm still rather new to this). I have a pic saved as a .jpg & am not able to paste in. I saw directions about providing a link to the pic on my own website - but I don't have my own site. I have seen where others have pasted pics directly in their posting. Can you give me some directions? Thanks.

Austin:
There's a primer on it at the top of the thread. You have to use a site/host in order to paste it to the BBS.
I haven't tried to organize or sort the Schuler info just yet but Richard Schuler is of great interest to the Charles Daly collectors as Schuler was sourced from SxSs and O/Us(holds a D.R.G.M.). Schuler designed the Herkules lock-up as well as some Pachyderm medicine cartridges. Fredick W. Hollender of 245 Canal Street, NY was an agent/sole agent of Schuler.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

Thanks. The one at the auction? If so, well done - that's a very nice weapon. I have the original photos, drop me a PM/email if you need them.
