No idea about Sicher, but proofed in Imperial Germany between 1891-1912. Krupp fluid steel barrels,both with original bores of 0.669" ~+/- 0.010"

Sicher is safe. 75cm tubes mated to a Kerner-Anson platform. Is the word Nitro on the sides of the tubes? If not, probably made just prior to WWI. Looks like it experienced proof in the final state. I don't recognize the tube maker right off but I'll look. Any stamps on the receiver?
Cheers,

"Sicher" "For Sure" (Safe) I guess that might have been discerned from the location relative to the safety button. Duh!

I believe I can make out the nitro proof on the barrel just at the edge of the flat - unless that says something else. That's where the nitro stamp is on my older German guns.

fallschirmjaeger has a proper monocle & was spot on regarding the Nitro stamp so that bounds it 1912-1923 - Suhl. Not sure on the maker but it reminds me of an August Schüler but I can't put my hands on an August Schüler catalogue at the moment.

Raimey,
I know you most certainly have a much deeper understanding of the teutonic guns, but doesn't the "16/1" stamp on the flats indicate it was proofed in January 1916? That's what I had always read...
