Just acquired a beautifully engraved (metal and wood) 1923 gun in 16x16 and a proof caliber of "6.4x55". The gun is not signed but James Julia sold it as "undoubtedly" made by Adolph. Others have now told me it's probably not but might have been engraved in Suhl by one of the craftsmen who did his engraving work (Fritz Heimbeck?). The caliber has been guessed as a 6.5 Swedish which means it was not made for the American market but for the Swedish market since the 6.5 Swedish wasn't popular in the US until the 1970s. Therefore they say it's probably not an Adolph. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
