[QUOTE="Rum River, post: 3014094, member: 16869"] Beautiful. The "Prima-Krupp-Stahl" translates to "Prime Krupp Steel". To determine the manufacturer and when it was built it's necessary to see under the forearm and decipher the various proof marks that are there. I wonder if the auction house would be willing to provide any photos of that area? Interpreting those proof marks can get interesting all by themselves. Value can really be difficult. For example it's great this one has the claw mount for a scope - but the scope for this rifle would be hand-fitted to that specific firearm. It doesn't necessarily mean another one would [B][U][I]not[/I][/U][/B] fit, but it would be unlikely and could well be calibrated to a firearm in a different caliber with a different stock pitch, etc., etc. I own a drilling that is in good condition, but not nearly as nice as this one and is still worth a few thousand. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
