Seen yesterday at a tiny gunshop, a Will. Brenneke, Leipzig drilling, 16x16 over 9.3x72R. A real Cuckoo clock.
(I apologize for some of the closeups, perhaps my Macro function was not set correctly.)
What look like hammers cannot be manually cocked and do not strike anything, they just seem to be elaborate indicators.I imagine if one was used to a hammer drilling they may this might ease the conversion to hammerless?
There is a top tang slide switch behind the toplever, just like a normal safety, only marked "S" and when pushed forward pops up the "50" rear leaf sight, there is a second manual leaf for "150". I am not sure if it is also the barrel selector, the owner stated that this piece behind the top tang is the selector, it's pushed down and then forward where it will lock. He also said it didn't have a safety, I'm not sure, didn't want to play with it without snap caps.
No set trigger that I could see and I had no snap caps to confirm any of this. Nice engraving and cartridge trap, looks like a cappercaille on the plate.
As usual he thinks it's worth a fortune because last week he saw a drilling offered for sale for with lesser engraving and a high price....
