hi Mandeep

100% right its a gun

hi all any idea what it is?

It looks like a tiny picture to me!

Is there a gun in there?

How about a bigger pic, you can edit out any lettering but I can't really see the gun that clearly to take my usual wild stab in the dark.

Looks like an early "needle-fire" for cartridge gun to me, as made by Dreyse in Germany. Picture is really too small to positively identify. Cheers.

HI
updated the pic so now u all should not have any problems to id it,

its from Germany

Well the larger pic shows what it is, and if one types that name into google the pic you have comes up on page one.



now if you are still not sure of the name of this type of gun ( that the Germans seemed to have quite an interest in) here is about as big a hint as one can give:



Nice find Naga!

its a drilling.

i think something like German Gebrüder Merkel Drilling, Caliber 12 Gauge over .30/06

after all its a gun

A DBBL (over) with another under, probably a 32...

hi mark

i believe u know what it is, so don't let the cat out of the bag just yet.

its unique

yes sitar its a gun, but not as u say its bit more unique in more than one way.

Nagga it is already clear that it is a Drilling with 2 different Cal. so tell us the make /Cal.

hi all

i was looking at some old stuff and came across the rifle so i thought i would share this as its a unique one and should be of some interest. below is the write up on it.

" An Exceptional German Drilling -Believed to be late 1800's Maker has all the marks of T Collath although it has a Berlin retailers name (R Haetge Berlin) 16g x 16g x Believed to be either 11.2 x51r Kropatschek-Heissig or 11.15 x52r Schutzen . This appears to be a transition period gun and is not a conversion form a needle fire, which makes it a rarer piece, added to this W Collath Is one of the best makers and indeed his work is also rare - but more Importantly this as far as our research has shown that its the only known 3 barrelled gun in this design - so of huge historical importance –"

some pic are already posted my mark so here is the rest, thank to all for taking part.
