The adress is Moravska Ostrava. I gave aprox 100$ for it.

Well, you did well. You might be able to invest some renovation then. But doubles are so much cheaper in Europe, than in the U.S. of A. where now just to import is going to be a cool Grand($1000).

That high serial number makes me think it was sourced from a larger Liège concern in 1928. So there must be a maker's mark on the longarm somewhere?

I forgot to mention it has the Anson Pushrod forend fastener. Is there any monogram or similar on the standing breech?

I’ll take a closer look to see if i can find some more marks on it. It looks like the forend has been changed or repaired at some time

Pleasure us with a closeup foto of the forend and let's see the repair.

Forend replacement, that’s sad on such a wonderful piece.
