The same shop that had the try stocked drilling I posted earlier also put this out. 16ga x 8x72r
Seems to be in great shape with no problems with the horn. Rifle and shotgun bores are still mint.

Lovely, just lovely „Raschsche Karreegravierung“, or Rasch's Square Engraving.

Probably the best adorned Collath I have viewed. Could you pleasure us w/ an image of the marks on the underside of the barrel?

Here are the images. I ordered the German gun collectors publication on the Collath guns so I'm waiting for that to show up in the mail. I think I picked out the two best guns from the estate.

In close proximity to the odd maker's mark there is the stamp of Crown over N, STmG with 7/8 gr.

Then on the the lug, G(?). 16 . 8X72.

2.5 G.R. 5 K.M.G. - I think the 1st to be for powder and the 2nd for bullet weight? It is possible that it passed thru Collath's proof facility or the Frankfurt one.



Below the typical Eagle Crown over G, Eagle, Crown over U is
what looks to be 7,8mm with 72(mm??) below. And an odd makers mark about that.
