    BTW: the scope is an Emil Busch, Visar 2 3/4x. Nice photo, but the price was very close to insanity!

    Gebrüder Merkel Luftwaffe Double Barrel Shotgun

    Talking about hunting ...... Not a shotgun, but ...... The attached photo shows lieutenant Gerhard Löbenberg from JB10 with a shot chamois in the Dolomites in early/mid 1915. Löbenberg was a well known war correspondent and painter. Please note the scoped rifle and the Gibraltar cuff title. Thanks
