I realize this is off topic here but I've been unable to find anyone with any info on a German maker named Kohle. In the process of buying this rifle in 30-06 with a 23" or 24" bbl, schnable fe, bbl-mounted sling swivel, oil finish stk, open sights, horn grip cap and butt plate and what looks like a horn (?) fore-end tip. Gun is fairly light (guess = 7.5 lb), "feels" right and has the classic grace of a German gun of somewhere around 1930s to 1950s--I'm guessing here. I assume it's pre-WWII. The gun has wear on blueing and some rub marks on stock to the extent that would be considered normal for its age. Also, there is a longitudinal crack in the fore-end tip that looks like it might have been caused by desiccation (sp) but seems readily repairable. Seller is asking $775.
Anybody out there who might know anything at all about this maker or German makers of this period in general? Went to ShootingWorld but so far, no responses.
Any help much appreciated.
