Thanks for all the great input. I did post the same pictures on the German Gun Collectors forum.
The mechanism is built on the Deutsches Reichs Patent 100914 associated
with the name Robert Schrader of Gottingen. He also has other firearm patents.
Everyone is correct, pushing the lever forward, opens the action and pulling it rearward, cocks the hammers.
I still need to put it across an accurate scale. It feels extremely light.
I will try and get a macro shot of the barrel flats and post it.
I do have some RST 16 gauge shells and I plan on patterning this little
gun with.
Best regards,
Jeff
