Hello,
I have a F.V. Dreyse Sommerda 12 gauge SxS NON-NEEDLE GUN shotgun.
D.R.P. 32352
Swing out 30" Nitro Proof barrels via an under lever.
I cannot find any information on-line about Dreyse Non-Needle Gun Shotguns and was wondering if anyone can help me.
I have several photos which I cannot attach due to the fact I do not have a website.
I would be happy to e-mail the photos to any member who thinks they can assist me.
Thank you.

Cooler,
I suggest you switch to the German and Austrian Guns forum, below.

"Johann Christian Nicolaus Dreyse's father was a locksmith and determined that Johann to follow in his footsteps so at the age of 14 he began the apprentice program in his father's shop. Johann fought it at every step wanting to devote his time to studies. In 1805 he completed the program and headed off to Leipzig, Dresden, the Rhine area followed by Paris where he landed up in Pauli's shop where he stayed till 1814,when he returned to his father's workshop with the determination to develop a breechloader, which Pauli had abandoned. Circa 1821 he married and about the same time partnered with a merchant named Kronbiegel making buttons, nails, etc. Kronbiegel soon expired and in 1824 he took on a partner and the shingle read Dreyse & Collenbusch(Carl/Karl). In 1840 & 1841 the facility was built in Sömmerda. Kronbiegel looks to have had a son named Bruno Kronbiegel designed things other than sporting weapons with D&C. In 1900 the concern was in a terrible financial bind and on March 31st 1901 Rheinmetall absorbed them." http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...true#Post288075Cheers, Raimey rse

Pranz von Dreyse back action side swing double. Interesting it is for a Southpaw/lefty.       Cheers, Raimey rse
