32 ? Cal Schmidt & Habermann Take-down Martini - cased

I collect Small Frame Martini rifles, and also collect Schuetzen rifles. ..... so .....

About a month ago, I found this for auction and I tagged it with a opening bid, (half the low estimate) because I wanted to see how high it would go.
Much to my surprise, no one else bid. I will have it in hand in a couple of weeks and I'm anxious to see what caliber it turns out to be. I'm hoping for 8.15x48R because many of my Schuetzen rifles are in this caliber and I have plenty brass and bullets. I will post pictures of proof marks as soon as I receive it.

As always, your comments are welcome.

That was the only item in the auction I was going to bid on, then I forgot to attend December 11. You got a great buy. I would bet it is 8.15x46r. Should you decide it is not for you, drop me a note.

Based on it being a "small" action, It may also be a 8.15x40R. I'm anxious to find out.

The rifle in buckstix's photo is likely an 8.15x46R. The one in yamoon's may or may not be, I am also interested to see.
