Boche our fav neighbors to the west made good guns. They take a likin' and keep on tickin'. They don't fall apart like some of those older Spanish or Belgian guns and are not nearly as weirdo as French offerings. It does pay dividends to have an oily rag on hand to keep oxidation off them barrels after use.
Thanks for nice pics. Nothing gets one into spirit of Chrisnukah quite like a German or Austrian flinte. Just think Christmas tree, cuckoo clock plus warm und cozzy fire place on Chritmas eve.
