MUN. & WAFFENFABR 16 Bore

[Bonadurers]

Hello,
This showed up at my door last weekend. On the barrels it reads "MUN. & WAFFENFABR" SOMMERDA DREYSE.
The Deutsches Reichs Patent is 100914. It has a very small frame and I still need to weigh the firearm.
Here's some photos.

Any input would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Jeff

I believe Peter has it; good eye. Curious what the S. Nr. 64 is on the water-table.

The retailer would have been Munitions und Waffenfabrik Soemmerda which was Nikolaus von Dreyse then Rheinmetall, I believe. So they had the means to manufacture.

I don't see the term Nitro on the sides of the tubes so it was made between 1898 & 1912.

Hey Fred,

Someone might be interested. What is this Journal you speak of ?
Thanks for specifics.

Kind regards,

Jeff

It is in Waidmannsheil #49 and is available, if you don't already have it, from the GGCA Office or bookstore.

Thanks Fred. I appreciate the guidance and will be purchasing that issue for sure.
