Hi Raimey:
Thank you for all the information. It is a conventionally place top safety; optical illusion, indeed.
The barrels are essentially untouched, remaining true to their proof mark specs. It is a very well constructed gun, and by its condition was well cared for before and after its voyage to America, presumably accompanying a homebound G.I.
Very interesting about the Nitro proof of 1910/11.
How common was it for German makers/retailers to use Liege barreled actions with Liege proof marks?
And am I correct in guessing that E. Kuntze is another of many German gunmakers whose history has vanished?
Thanks once again.
Vic
