I purchased this Drilling along with my Waffen Honold Mauser from the same elderly gentleman. I unfortunately did not get to meet the man that owned them, but I was told, he brought them home after WWII. From the research I have done it appears to be of pre-WWI construction. I would love to hear anything about the mechanics, action style (Roux under?), etc. I have done some work to it, I made a new firing pin and spring for the left barrel. The chamber is some form of 9.3x72r, but does not interchange with my JP Sauer drilling.
I'll start with the standard markings.

Now this is the marking I want to highlight and really hope someone can shed some light. This drilling has no makers marks other than the Alfa crest on the barrels. This marking however, I hope might be something.

If you see the script AH, that is what I am thinking might be a makers mark.
I'll post more tomorrow of the drilling, engraving, and workmanship.
