RE: Geo. Fisher side by side
Yeah, its got an oval with ELG and a star in it plus a whole bunch of initials and numbers and proof marks. About six or seven in all. Those belgians and germans loved their proof marks! Its obvious that it was a well made shotgun. The lock parts are very cleanly made and well fitted. There is some checkering on some of the metal parts and the wrist is checkered too. The bores in this thing are in excellent shape, no pitting at all. The finish is all gone and both hammers are missing, but Ive got a pair of LC hammers that will work. I soaked it in a bucket of penetrating oil for two weeks and have every screw in it out right now. I even got the firing pins out without buggering up anything. This thing was found in the wall of a barn when it was torn down. I am surprised its in as good of shape as it is. I just wish I could get my hands on a servicable one or some drawings.
