Hello everyone! I am looking for a help with identification of this drilling.
Markings and sign-
Bock Frankfurt-maybe gunseller, merchant Carl Bockghis shop still exist in Frankfurt
Bohler blitz stahl- Gebruder Bohler & CO. - Austria
88/1258- under rifle barrel-seriál number 1258? Of gunmaker with ferlach code 88?
3542.53-its mean 3542nd gun proofed in 1953 in Ferlach proof house?
8x57JR-Im suprised, did they still make Guns in 8x57jr gkind of obsolete caliber in 1953..
I J - letters under rifle barrel, initials of tubesetter/gunsmith?
There is also date on the shotgun barrels 25.2.71 - probably date of proof after rechambering shotgun chambers from 16/65 to 16/70.I cant see choke markings.
Thank you all for your help, Im going to upload dome pictures. Martin

There is no Ferlach code 88. This seems to be code 33, meaning Franz Sodia.
Yes, Ferlach made the older 8x57IR into the middle fifties. Don't be surprised, things moved slowly under the Karawanken :-)
As for IJ and the date I would not know the meaning. But the 16/65 mark I see intact so there was no official chamber lenght change.
BTW many Ferlach guns at the time were ordered by German gunsmiths/gun dealers, and marked so.

Cheers,
Jani
