Otto Bock Double Rifle Drilling (Doppelbuchsdrilling) in 10.75x65r - 10.75x65r - 32 ga
Description: For sale is a very handsome Otto Bock Doppelbuchsdrilling (double rifle drilling or double rifle with single shotgun barrel below). The action of this double rifle is based upon the Collath tilt & drop action. The rifle is beautifully engraved, and the stock is nicely checkered. The buttstock is carved with a game scene of dogs chasing a buck. The buttstock has a very nice bullet trap. The trigger guard is carved horn. The barrels are marked Otto Bock who may have been the retailer. The gun is also marked “Patent W. Collath”. The rifle appears to be similar to the few Collath double rifles and doppelbuchsdrilling that I have seen. The calibers are 10.75x65r - 10.75x65r - 32 ga and the 32 ga barrel has a 22 Hornet insert installed and also has a .410 insert. Proof markings and action are shown in the pictures. Comments concerning the proof marks from an expert are as follows: “The 67/48s show the bore (not groove or bullet) diameter expressed in gauge measurement (it translates to 10.41mm and is consistent with the reported nominal caliber). The imperial eagles show provisional and definitive proof were performed; the crown U shows a View proof was performed after the definitive proofs. The View proofs amount to a detailed inspection, including verification of dimensions. On the shot barrel, the Imperial eagles and crown U have the same meaning as on the rifle barrels. The crown S means the barrel was proofed to fire shot. There is no crown W, so the shot barrel is cylinder bore. The 32 in a circle means it has a standard 32-gauge chamber. The 34 without a circle is the bore diameter ahead of the chamber, also expressed in gauge measurement (translates to 13.08mm). Since the bore diameters of the rifles were expressed in gauge measurement, the gun was made after early 1893, when the 1891 proof law came into effect and before 1912, when the 1911 improvements to the law changed these measurements to millimeters.” More pictures will be provided upon request. The sale price is payable by certified check and receipt of your FFL. Refund (minus any fees and shipping costs) if not as described above and as shown in pictures is available if the request is made within 3 days of receipt provided rifle has not been shot or disassembled.
