I grew up not far from where this gun was made and my first double was an Ithaca Flues model, so Emile Flues has always been an interesting guy to me. I wonder about how this gun works. Pretty neat gun.

Not sure how much effort Emil Flues contributed but at a minimum he sourced it >> in the white << from Römerwerke A.G. / Röhmerwerke in Suhl. The Church Windows & drop points look very Germanic.

Do you recognize the design or do you see manufacturers marks that tell you this? Continental guns are not my strong point.

Steve;

I wonder also if those are "rising bites"?

Yes touchmarks & those circles that remain on the flats are bore/gauge marks that were not worked off, which accompanied the remainder of the full / typical regiment of typical marks.

Interesting circles below the strikers / firing pins?

I believe, and I am no expert on Teutonic guns, those are a type of Kiersten(sp?) cross bolt. Somewhat similar to a Greener except they come in from both sides.

Römerwerke had a formidable machine shop from 1888 & I would say most of the machining was performed there.

As a sidebar, seems many notable concerns were involved w/ the Römer & Compagnie machine works. Names like Dornheim, Funk, Greifelt, Jung, F.W. Keßler & heirs and Paul Stadelmann were heavily involved. Remember Paul Stadelmann was a student of Otto Bock and became a principle in E. Schmidt & Habermann. I have very strong suspicions that the
>>Clamshell / Muschel-Verschluss / Stabil-Verschluss Action << were sourced there. Most of the members @ one time offered one.
