No I don't have a sign in the yard but it's a thought. I spend a lot of time ( and gas money ) going to estate auctions. I feel like I have made a good start on a collection at reasonable prices, some I sell some I keep.
My knowledge has increased a good bit due to info from all the great guys on this site. I have learned the early gunsmiths always put the name of the city where they made the gun after their name. This gun has A. Stein-Alfeld on the right barrel in gold inlay. No seriel numbers and I can find no proofs. Someone ( I think it might have been researcher ) looked through his book on european gunsmiths for me ( forgot the name of the book )but thought someone might have seen the name or have some info on this name. Even with my lack of knowledge this is by far the most beautiful hammer gun I have ever seen.
Will give some more thought to the sign.
Thanks
Ernie
