Default A Germanic Masterpiece

I thought I would share this little gem. On loan from a friend who wished to know more about this piece of history.
A 16 Ga at 6#7oz, w/ 31 3/4" barrels, M/F and very shootable dimensions (fits me to a T).
Build by NA Gmeiner & Sohn in Altenburg, proofed in Oct. 1912. I will let the pictures speak for the gun!

I like that a lot. Long barrels and light weight, what a pheasant and dove gun.
What a gun period, real nice !

Billk, not at all, in fact the next day they provided a very nice review of this gun. I am just not familiar with the german gun sector, and with all out there, looking for perhaps another source of info.
