I snapped a few pics at the 'smith today. They're a bit blurry. I had no tripod. It's not mine :-(

R. Schuler 16-16-8x57rim - Top cocking indicator for the rifle and the hammer pins are the indicators for the shotgun.

nice guns like this are always a pleasure to see thanks for the photos.

Did you recently purchase it off GunBroker? It is a beautiful Classic drilling, for sure. I wish it were in my safe, and you had a better one.

Nope it belongs to customer of my gunsmith. came in for some stock work.

Very fine craftsmanship. Notice how the screw slots all point the same direction. One of the painstaking efforts that make these firearms sooo special. Everything is hand fitted.

I had the extreme pleasure of visiting Herr Scheiring's shop in Ferlach Ostereich some 30 years ago.

I was surprised to see the amount of young people he had working there. If you listen closely you don't hear much machinery running. It's all or most handwork.

Yes they are expensive but you are receiving a firearm that is superior, you are also receiving a work of art.

Best wishes, Bill
