Description:
GERMAN Three Barrel DRILLING Combination C&R 16 Gauge & 9.3mm SHOTGUN/RIFLE

A Nice Early 20th Century UNDERLEVER Hunting Gun

Here we present a C&R German Drilling Underlever with two barrels of 16 Gauge and a rifle barrel chambered in 9.3x72mm, made in Germany in the early 20th Century. 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. 

Though this gun is unmarked, there are several strong possibilities on who the manufacturer was, including Sauer & Sohn, Merkel, Simson & Company, and several others. 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 good. Robust action. The bores are good for the ages. Original finish has been preserved. The buttplate is missing a chip in the toe. Numbers match. Solid stock with average wear.
