Gunwolf, I have decided not to pursue gun purchases from Germany. Too much cost/hassle involved in shipping, importation, customs, etc. I am told there is an annual gun show in Tulsa every November typically with a large inventory of fine German guns. Also a similar annual show in Ohio. Not to mention, they are readily available on all the major US gun auction sites. Also, I have become convinced that there is no substantive savings by buying from Germany, even before the additional costs are considered. The general rule, "things cost more in Europe," does indeed apply to firearms as well as everything else. So, I will try to restrict feeding my "addiction" to local sources of these fine double guns, drillings, etc. As to my future purchases, if I think I got something really great, I will keep you and others posted via this website. Thanks again for all your help in researching this gun and helping me search for "the missing barrel"!
