Does anyone know when Anton Sodia was making guns in Ferlach? And what the numbers 15.3 stamped on shotgun barrels means?
Also, what the series of numbers 3182.1495.20 might mean. They are stamped on the barrel receiver area next to the proof mark.
Also 5139.19.15.0. on one of the barrels. And 1163.g. between the barrels? (solder area)
I think 1495.20 might be the serial number as it is also found on the receiver. But then what do the other numbers mean 3182?
Any help would be appresiated. The gun is a 20 gauge side by side.

Jerry,
"Anton Sodia" was active from 1870 till after WW2. I would attempt reading the numbers like this:
15.3 = bore size in mm (or choke?)
3183 = serial number
1495 = proof house number ("Beschussprotokolnummer")
20 = year of (definite) proof - 1920
5139.19.15.0. could mean an earlier barrel proof:
5193 = proof house number
19 = year of proof - 1919
15.0 = bore size (in the rough, before finishing?), or maye choke size-?

1193.g means 1Kg 193 gramms - weight of bbls.
Also I have to ad to Jani's words 1495 and 5139 it's current numbers of this particular gun at proof house, when its been proofed. Double proofed probably means there were some repairs or changes in gun design or in set.
Geno.

Thanks guys, that was of great help. I sort of had the 1163.g figured out after I weighed the barrels that is was the weight of them. A I sort of thought the 15.3 was the choke of the barrels. The other stuff was really confusing, and I sort of had it read backwards. So thanks again. What was also interesting was that the gun also had a proff mark from the provience of Karnten aside from the two Ferlach proof marks and Austrian proof mark.
