Georg Immanuel Meffert first started his gunmaking shop in 1839 in Suhl, and the
Meffert family continued their operations into World War II, but unfortunately their
area of Suhl fell under the Iron Curtain after the war and their factory was nationalized
by the East German regime.The proof marks indicate that the gun was produced pre
WW2 1939. We are not sure exactly which year though.
In its high condition and with its interesting history, this would make a great piece for
drilling or fine European firearms collectors. If it gets past the collectors, this is a
gun which can hunt just about anything outside of Africa and look good doing it.
