Hammergun Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 I've been offered an old German hammer 12 bore for only £50. It's in not bad nick, but I only have bought English guns so far. What do you reckon? Should I get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 For £50, its worth it for the curousity value alone. I only know a few German manufacturers; Merkel; JP Sauer; Kettner; Heckler & Koch. Perhaps hubertus can help you research it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Hubertus - if you read this, it has "Geco" and "Elektrostahl" on it. There are a number of distinguishing proof marks, but I don't have descriptions of all the foreign ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 :what: Hammergun,I am stunned at you asking us peasants a question like that. We all look to you to answer our questions and valuations of old guns. You have gone down in my hero list now mate. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 As I said, I only know about ENGLISH guns!!!!! (The gun is in proof and with good wall thickness and sound barrels and action - I know all that.) But regarding foreign guns, I haven't a clue!!

ernyha Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 HG joking apart now, I would have thought that any old gun in proof would be worth £50 of anyones money. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammergun Posted January 21, 2003 Report Share Posted January 21, 2003 Yeah, but it's the space in the gun cabinet too. Anyway, my next venture is going to be a pigeon rotor. I'm making it myself and I've started accumulating the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pigeon Pieman Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Sad though it sounds, I'd like some gloves! :C Years ago I had a pair of Miller Mitts. They were all the rage. A woollen green fingerless mitten back with a sort of knitted soft rope palm. I loved them :love: Best fingerless gloves I've ever owned. Does anyone know if they are still available? :thumbs: I daren't ask my dad - who brought my last pair - as my mum would insist in knitting some :thumbs: :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
