20 gramme bullet?
Leopold Saemann of Grlitz/Schlesien was active in 1905 and around the turn of the 20th century. He seems to have a close association with the mechanics Ligoise. This was also the time in which the Stabil Action found favour and from what little I have garnered, Bernhard Merkel & August Schler were two of the main sources for the Clamshell DR / Muschelverschlu / Stabil A&D Body Action. The August Schler concern went on to devise other robust platforms or other robust platforms were developed in parallel with the Clamshell DR / Muschelverschlu / Stabil Action.
From the smattering of proofmarks, it looks like it was made by the August Schler concern but passed thru the Zella - Mehlis proof facility? I'd really like to see the full regiment of marks especially the ones on the sides of the tubes & those forward of the flats on or near the lower rib.
Lovely effort Argo44.
