M4 made a find on Gunbroker and sent me the link:
http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=269452311 .
I think M4 and I are on the same page and the Heinrich Scherping retailed sporting arm was ordered in the early 1890s and was onhand either in his shop or in the shop of the maker between January & April of 1893. It was either a 2 barrel set or a cape gun with pattern welded scattergun tubes. Then in 1918(difficult to see the marks) Heinrich Scherping ordered a new set of fluid steel scattergun tubes and the tubeset passed thru the Zella-Mehlis proof facilty and then experienced British reproof at some point. Restocking was much later per the ad/description.
Anyone have any insight to additional small screws atop the frame just above the overhanging scear screw?
Lovely adorned fences
Almost all Scherpings have the Charles Harvey's 'Rigby' forend fastener British patent no. 1793 of 1866
Doesn't appear to have the A&D permission use number.
Can't comment on the chopperlump tubeset description just yet.
Kind Regards,
