From the load data I would guess that the sporting weapon was destined to a client in German during a time of reciprocity?

Forgot to respond to this, Raimey. The gun came out of a large estate in Canada. The three guns I have seen from that collection (an English, an American and this Ideal) are all very high quality guns. The other two besides mine, quite stunning! No idea how long this Ideal was in that collection or the journey it took starting in 1920 to ultimately arrive in my safe. The previous owner bought it from the estate and sold it to me within a year.
