does anyone have information on Robert Schuler. Type of guns he made and the quality. Who did most of his engraving and was he related to Agusta Schuler? Looking for as much information on this person as possible, Thanks

RickD:

Did you mean August Schuler?

Best,

No, his name is Robert Schuler, was a german gunsmith, did drillings between 1900-1930 i believe. I think he could have been one of Augusta Schuler's sons. Not sure though. Rick

Mr. Mann:
No, it was Robert Schüler of Köln/Cologne and I can't pin his lineage down. He didn't peddle any junk and most examples look to be upper end such as clamshell DRs. Interesting that he had that corner of the market in Köln. but I'm still looking.

Kind Regards,

I have one of his drillings my father brought back from WWII and I have to say it's one of the nicest looking guns I have ever seen. I was wanting some information on him and the types of guns he made and how they are considered by today's standards. Gun is heavily engraved and has a lot of proof marks inside the receiver area with his name on top of the top barrel, it's (I believe) a 16 gauge on top and a 6.5MM on the bottom. Beautiful gun.

This is a link to the pictures of my Robert Schuler gun.

I did not see a "drilling" in the photos, unless somehow I was mis-directed to different photos. What I see is a combination gun, one shotgun tube and one rifle tube. That's not a "drilling." Looks nice enough regardless, certainly not spectacular by any means, has a few issues it would appear, but overall a nice combo gun and worth of not only adding to a collection of such guns but also determining the exact round to put it back into use. Likely a 16 gauge 2 1/2" shell,but the rifle tube is hard to read, almost looks like it says 8mm, perhaps an 8 x 57R, using a 196 gr bullet. Someone with a better photo editor and better eyes can be a better judge of that. Proofed in 7/26 it looks like. A chamber cast is certainly in order to make that determination. These German combo guns are commonly very good shooters. I have a couple that are very similar and absolutely love to hunt them. If you get tire of it and want to trade for something more functional, look me up.

My dear friend:
I understood that, but the inquirer asked if Robert were the son of AugustA. I was gently suggesting that he was mistaking August Schuler for someone that I don't think was known to be a gun maker/dealer, one AugustA Schuler.
The August Schuler that I am familiar with was active in the very late 1900s 'til sometime between WW1 and WW2.

I do not think I have read anything connecting a Robert Schuler with August Schuler of Suhl and environs.

But, for our friends benefit, I will say that I have never seen a German gun, in shootable condition, that was of poor build quality. They are good, better, best.

Flame retardant suit on and waiting.LOL

Ah, Mr. Mann I should have read your post closer and we all know you wear asbestos long-handles.





Krupp Cast steel tube but Wilhelm Kebler.







Same "RL" initials as on another current puzzle. "23" looks to be the assembly number and on the 2nd pic I posted is there another "23" with a "m/m" stamp above the "Crown" over "G"? My first guess is E. Schmidt & Habermann but there were others who were sourced.
