Anyone know what currency units the "Cr. 1000" might be?




Interesting that some function of the tube making was performed by Valentin Christoph Schilling on this Suhl made drilling. I wonder if ole Konrad Heym was still involved. The rifled tube at 65cm is a good deal shorter than the 72cm scattergun tubes.



Poor effort at an image capture of a 1910 Val. Chr. Schilling Advert

The reason V.C. Schilling had a hand in Baumgarten's drilling with the very new Poldi Antikorro tubes was that he was an outlet and may have had the monopoly in 1910.
