Hello, '06,

I did further research and feel this was made for a Baron who probably vacationed in Baden Baden. The coronet tells me it's a low ranked nobel's gun.

The rifle appears to be in 10X47R. I made up one case using a 45-70 brass. It will be MUCH easier with the 348 brass a very generous member is sending.

I need to have the right hammer head pivot spring strengthened considerably, as it pops back to the shotgun position on firing. It will be an easy job for Lee LeBas to correct.

I got and shot some RST ammo, and it shoots great. I have to contend with an almost 16" LOP. The Baron was a giant!
