The firm is at the very highest end of the high end.
They only make custom ordered guns.Very expensive and worth every euro.

Please ignore this post. I had a senior moment.

E(Erdmann) S(chmidt) & HA(bermann), Suhl. The firm was founded in 1886 and I think both fellas were up in years very similar to Moncrieff & Gye. E. Schmidt I think to be a businessman and possibly a Senator at some point. As usual with a business name, the money man was 1st and the workhorse/craftsman was 2nd. By the time this example was made Richard, Franz & Paul Stadelmann were the owners and possibly by 1927 Richard was out of the picture. What relationship they had to Schmidt or Habermann, I can't say. ESHA seems to have been a large source for the trade, especially in big bore Mauser bolt guns. I'm really not sure how they fit in the Mauser-Krieghoff-Schüler-Sauer versions. If you could post pics I might be able to tell what model it is. A pic of the flats and area ahead of the flats to the forend lug more than likely will name the maker. I may have more info somewhere.
Kind Regards,
Raimey

John, were you thinking of Hartman and Weiss perhaps?
Damn !!! Another senior moment.
Yes I was thinking of them. Well, really misthinking of them.LOL
Thanks for catching that.

John, don't condemn those senior moments, celebrate having lived long enough to have them. I know I certainly am accruing them more frequently now. They are attributed to having finally acquired enough knowledge to be pushing the limit on the capacity of our C drives. When it is full you simply have to delete a few items to make space.
thanks for your replies gents.i will try to get some pics next week
cheers, pete
