I picked up a German drilling this weekend as I was leaving a gun show. I have always wanted a German drilling or maybe even a Rook rifle and this one had my name on it. The engraved art is charming with Red Stag, Fox, Rabbit and Roe Deer. The condition is a little rough and with the Damascus shotgun barrel, I will not shoot it. The manufacturer appears to be A. GRALENER A SCHATTENBURG. It is a 16 gauge with a 62/78 or .420 rifle. The markings are several of the old style eagles, U, W, S crowned. 11835, RG and G.
Do I have the manufacturer correct? Was this gun completed on January 18, 1935. It does appear older. I have seen other types for around $2000. Is this about the correct value? Will upload some pics.
Thanks in advance. Todd
