gunsaholic,
That is almost correct, it represents the date of proof, which would be close to the date of production. That is a nice score, by the way.

Thanks guys. No, this gun came from Landsborough Auctions. It is actually nicer than the pics made it look and better than described. It's a dandy little gun. I also picked up an unfired Webley & Scott 702.

Lovely gun!
I have Emil Kerner #1817, a very light 16, 2.5" chambers, 28.75" barrels, 5# 9oz. Marked Emil Kerner Suhl on the left barrel and just St. Louis on the right barrel.
Mine is a much earlier, simpler style action while yours looks much more robust with side-clips and bolsters. Is it 2-3/4"? Weight?
Congrats,
Rob

It is 2 3/4". I don't have a very good scale but I get 6 pounds, 6 oz.

gunsaholic,
If it is 2 3/4" now, it has been rechambered. The 16 in a circle shows it went through the proof house with 65mm( 2 1/2- 2 9/16") chambers. It is still a very nice gun.

Mike I took a rough reading when I first did the measurement. My bad. It is just shy of 2 9/16".

gunsaholic,
your new measurement matches the proof marks at 65mm.
