I learn something every day, and a lot of times it's that what I learned the day before was wrong

Michael, I am not too sure either, but I think it is
Dolf Hafner Hofbuch?enmacher Ca??el
a little research is that buchsenmacher translates as riflemaker, the hof translates as court. I have tried a lot of different combinations for ca??el which I believe is a location such as a town but nothing comes up on Google maps in Germany.

That is a nice rifle. Do you have pictures of the proofs on the barrel underside?

There was a gunmaking family in Kassel (Cassel until 1926) Germany. I don't see a Dolf but they were active at least until 1910. Are there any proof or other marks on the underside of the barrel or action?

I have not had it apart yet, but when I make a chamber cast will check for proof marks.
