My father brought this combination 16 ga./9.3 X 72R back from WWII in 1946. I inherited it almost 30 years ago and am just now
getting around to researching it. It looks to be a beautiful gun but I am not knowledgeable at these types of guns. The rifle caliber
has me baffled. The proof mark in one place says "9mm" and underneath that "72"; but on the extractor it says "9.3 X 72 Normal".
I have no idea what that means. One thing for sure is it will not chamber a S & B 9.3 X 72R round...see pictures.
Any information about this gun and the chambering would be greatly appreciated.
