Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Combination Guns and Drillings Show Us Your Combo Gun

Here is my latest project. It is a un-named Zella-Mehlis drilling dated 1924 in 16x16x9.3x72R. Bluing is great, the action was nickel plated, a very thin was but is mostly worn away. Shotgun bores are mirror and the rifle has some pitting in the grooves just ahead of the chamber but the lands look good and it shoots well. The only info on the maker is are the initials of the person that struck the barrels Herman Schlegelmilch.

This is kind of a restoration to hunting condition. It is a well balanced and fairly light gun and will make a great pheasant/sharptail rig



The stock was in rough shape and I've put a lot of time in putting it back together, cutting new pieces and glueing everything back where it belongs. Finally shot it yesterday and all the repairs held up well. Someone in the past tried to repair it and did a vey shoddy job and it all came apart again on him and pieces were lost. Now to remove his odd colored finish and get it looking right.

This is the pic. of the stock before I started, the other side was just as bad.

Good for you!!! I like to see that wonderful old hunter repaired and back in action. Keep posting on the restoration, please.
