Thanks Wolfgang. I had started my fascination with fine guns when my grandfather gave me that drilling at age 7, to make matters worse my dad had a ffl. I started researching soon as the internet came out. Later I found Raimey and some of you and got the answers I never could find or figure out. It’s been that way for decades now. Thanks again to all of you!

Yeah, Adam Schurk / Schork was a specialist in Korntreiber. Looks like he had 62 years in 1936 and about this time he changed his name from Schurk to Schork. He was a master marksman with the pistol. Some cat named Xaver Haedel was the foreman of his concern.

Yep Adam had some unsavory friends I found several things linking him to bad company. Even some Christmas cards with his artwork.

That may be the reason for the name change?? Trying to escape some baggage? Or may have turned over a New Leaf, but I have serious reservations.

Thanks to Wolfgang, I can better explain the specialty of Adam Schurk / Schork: Korntreiber. He was a front sight adjusted tool specialist.

Those new fotos seems to advertise for Karl Hübental of Halle / Saale who hung out his gunmaking shingle in 1887.

Too the concern of ole Karl Hübental went into receivership or liquidation in 1913, so that would bound the dates & possibly explain the Schilling forge tubes of the longarm being devoid of Nitro stamps?
