Thanks everyone for all the help, Carl the pictures you requested are below. The sleeves appear to be a fine green billiard felt. The gun goes back to my friend tomorrow, it was wonderful to have it in hand for a few days.
I did find some newspaper references to Dr. Ziemer traveling to Canada to duck hunt in 1926 with a group of docs from the Lancaster area. I am in touch with the Lancaster County library. Dr. Ziemer was the county Medical Director for many years. I did locate Dr. Ziemer's granddaughter so I am hoping she can add some color to the history of this fine gun.
