GGentlemen,

just recently, I bought a period photo of a proud German hunter posing with two killed foxes and an unusual shotgun:






The shotgun is odd for two reasons:

1/ The large name K. KERTSCHER (or K. KERISCHER) carved on the stock the nightmare of any collector. Obviously, the owner of the gun wasnt a fan of understatement.

2/ the odd large horn trigger guard looks like a lever for cocking/decocking the gun or a grip safety.

Does anybody know the shotgun system? Anything comparable known regarding the grip lever?

Best regards

Martin
