First of all I want to say Thank You to anyone that can help in this quest to learn more of this great gunmaker, the only reason that Goerings name is even mentioned in these posts is because 2 of the H Scherping guns that I have came with stories of ties to Goering which at the time of purchase did not influence my decision as to value or desirability. They were purchased based on the quality of craftsmanship and with the hope of new clues in learning more of the gunmaking trade in the area at that time.
Raimey has been instrumental in helping me with the research in creating a timeline and path that led this man to obtain the status of Hof-Buchsenmacher. He was a top shelf maker that remained popular and his business stood the test of time to span around 80 years through some very turbulent times. Any information on Tanner, Eckebrecht or Scherping would be of great help in establishing fact from theory and we are getting closer every day and with the help of the knowledge from members here we hope to one day tell the true story of this mans history & career with factual data to substantiate the story.
