Question about Deutcher drilling

[Skaubjonn]

Hello. I am sorry that I do not speak German, and I hope that it is alright that I write in English.
I have bought a drilling on egun, 20-76 over 6,5x57r, 65 cm barrel. The seller did not have much information about it, not even the year of production.
The weapon mis marked with Sharrer.
The engraving is spectacular. I noticed that it was signed by G. Rausch. I emailed Gerd Rausch, and he replied that he made the engraving in 80/81, and that the weapon was made by büchenmachermeister Sharrer, that now is dead.
Does anyone has any more information about Sharrer, or this weapon?

Hello Bent,

This is a wonderful Drilling. I like the engraving. I can't help you with information about the Drilling but I checked the internet an learned that Helmut Aiwanger, a gunsmith in the city of Rottenburg, got his apprenticeship as a gunsmith with Scharrer. Maybe he can provide you with more information. Mail to info@waffen-aiwanger.de. Please let us know, if you can find out more.

Best wishes to Norway and Waidmannsheil.

Thanks a lot! I will write to herr Aiwanger
There are not much to learn from the stamps I think.

Most important point.
Many dealers, even if by profession Gun smith, has built a gun like a Drilling

 

[Skaubjonn]

Can you see such stamps in the pictures?

Attention: some older signs are overpunched
Different charakter style on the Shotbarrel letters

Yes, the caliber seems to have been marked as "7.5x57", for example. Curious.

And what does that mean?
Here are some more pictures of the stamps

Böhler Blitz Stahl is the name of the steel the barrels are made off. The Böhler factory produced high quality steels for barrels. In the good old days the leading gun factories used Böhler steel. We have an old thread in this newsgroup which provides further information about Böhler steel but it is written in German.

Antinit-Laufstahl...?

Hallo Freunde, oft wird bei hochwertigen Jagdwaffen vom legendären "Antinit" Laufstahl geschwärmt. Wer kann zu diesem Stahl mehr sagen...?

Maybe the Google translator will help you.

It looks a bit Austrian, maybe build on Ferlach delivered barreled Action . Blind Sideplates possibly Blitz or Floor Plate action- lock

 

[Skaubjonn]

That is interesting. Yes there are blind side plates. I do not know if it is Blitz or floor plate action. I am on holiday now for the rest of July, and cannot check until august.
