Not being one who speaks or reads German, can someone translate the German text for me please?

I'm sorry for my bad English "

V-C platform & repair/reproof in 1941. Post an image of the marks forward on the tubes. Worry not about your English.

Cheers,

Just to expand Raimey's message a bit:
V-C platform is Verney-Carron, I think. Well-known French company.
There are French proof marks, of which I am no expert.
Raimey will know more.
Further German proof marks from July 1941 (741), J with eagle - Instandsetzungsbeschuss / repair proof, another one I do not recognize, then caliber markings 17,0 and 17,1 - 16 gauge, and 65 mm shell length.

Its part of our history though, a gruesome chapter but history just the same.

this thread is disturbing to me...hopefully, it will be removed from this fine forum...

The story of the gun might be interesting, but likely not knowable to a high level of confidence.

That said like others I have already said Himmler and company were evil at best and I doubt many pure gun guys would want anything to do with it.

However, there are many collectors of NAZI stuff who are not NAZI's themselves and would like it for that reason. I can't explain the NAZI collectors, nor condemn them, I just would not want anything to do with it.

V-C Verney Carron " i hawe written email To Verney Carron and hawe tould me
Ist not " Verney Carron that Shotgun .For Verney Carron , it's impossible , because all shottgun made by us was stamped "Verney Carron" . For me to , it is not the right mecanism of lock , because the locks of Verney is a 4 locks not 3 .
