I have an unsigned 16 gauge double with Ferlach proof marks.

The right flat of the action is stamped, above the NP (Nitro Proof): 4474.22.

The right flat (below the barrels) is stamped: 5924.4474.22

On the rear bottom of the rib is stamped: 1905.g. 621.2 (9 superscript). 15. 5.

1922 but there should be a maker's mark mixed in there somewhere.

Where do you get the 1922? I was thinking the 1905 referred to the gun's date of origin.

Raimey is correct about the date of course, .22 = 1922.
I think 1905.g. might be missread, maybe it's 1205 or 1305, as it shoud be the weight of the barrels in grams.
I don't see any maker indication in the numbers and markings given.

With kind regards,
Jani

Check the sides of the lugs, the standing breech and the area around the lower rib for any additional marks.

Here is mine but with no maker number. 16 / 7x72r. See the name on the last pic...can't make it out. Could be the maker or a retailer.

The strange looking stamp at left on 3rd picture might be a gunsmith's sign.

With kind regards,

Ogris is a well known Ferlach name.There was a large firm Markus Ogris from 1866 to circa WWI. Ignaz probably moved to Schärding (near the German border) to try his fair fortune there as Ferlach was pretty crowded in those days. Nice gun by the way.

With kind regards,
Jani
