Fred Adolph

Greetings,
Anybody here have any guns by Fred Adolph, Genoa NY? He sold drillings, vierlings, doubles, bolt action and pistols, about 1908>1920. T. Roosevelt's .450 double was an Adolph. Been enjoying this forum, keep it up!Am the owner of a Sauer 16x16 -7x57R. Just got some 7x57R ammo from Graf, produced and headstamped by Hornady.

You are obviously a man of fine taste!

Mind you, your choice of Drilling ensures I am a bit biased!

Sorry, no info regarding F.Adolph.

I owed a Fred Adolph 1903 Springfield, and the German Gun Collector's Association used to (and may still) sell a reprint of an old Adolp catalog. Michael Petrov who frequently posts in the Gunsmithing forum has a lot of information on Fred Adolph.

Beat me to it. Mr. Petrov has a plethora of info on Adolph and other makers. I suggest you get Mr. Petrov's books- its an excellent compilation of makers.
