ellenbr Sidelock Joined: Aug 2007 Posts: 10,815 Likes: 194 North Alabama	1928 sounds early for jeweling, which I believe the Suhl mechanics considered masking to cover-up shotty work. I believe the Z-M mechanics were using this about this time or a little later. Lovely sideplated boxlock w/ sideclips/wings, side frame reinforcement & crossbolt. Would like to see any marks forward of the flats if you have it in-hand again. Cheers, Raimey rse

Did Franz Yeager ever produce a catalog showing the grades or was every gun a one off per say? This gun will most likely going to Abe Chaber for new wood as the action and barrels are in wonderful shape. Is the long semi-beavertail forend typical of Yeagers work? Thanks again Sir.

But I'd contact Dietrich Apel as this history is his passion. Or I'll gladly send him a communiqu� if you so desire. http://www.germanhuntingguns.com/archives/archive-jaeger-franz/ Cheers, Raimey rse
