Very Nice GERMAN DRILLING Combination 16 Gauge & 9.3x72mm SHOTGUN/RIFLE C&R
Hubertus Marked THREE BARREL UNDERLEVER
Here we present a C&R German Drilling Underlever with two 16 Gauge barrels and one rifled at 9.3mm, likely made by Immanuel Meffert in Suhl, Germany in the early 20th Century. This example is marked “Hubertus”, for Saint Hubertus, who is the patron saint of hunters. Hubertus was used by Immanuel Meffert as sort of a trademark.
A Drilling, which is German for triplet, normally consists of two matching smoothbore barrels and a rifled barrel but may possibly cover a much broader range of shapes and configurations, such as two rifled barrels and one smoothbore, three smoothbores, or three rifled barrels.
There were several other major manufacturers, including Sauer & Sohn, Merkel, Simson & Company, and several others that made drillings. Since many drillings were made by small manufacturers, each maker would pick whichever layout they preferred, or whatever layout the customer ordered. The most common layout was like this one, a side-by-side shotgun with a centerfire rifled barrel centered on the bottom.
The overall condition is nearing fine. Original finish. Strong action. All three bores are bright. This example sports a solid stock with an average amount of wear. Legible markings. Numbers match. Nice soft foam buttplate.
