The German drilling represents a pinnacle of versatile engineering, combining multiple barrels into a single, elegant platform designed for the diverse needs of the European woodsman. This 1938 example showcases the precision and traditional craftsmanship that defined German gunmaking during the pre-war era.

This unique unit features a 16-gauge side-by-side configuration over a .410 bore third barrel, all elegantly managed via a sidelever selector and rebounding hammers. The wood stock is carved in a Prince of Wales style and paired with a traditional underlever used for opening the breach, providing a tactile connection to historic German firearm history.

Weighing 6 lbs 11 ½ oz, the firearm handles with surprising grace and remains C&R eligible for collectors of vintage sporting arms. Equipped with 26-inch barrels and a manual safety, this versatile piece locks up securely and serves as a remarkable specimen for both the field and the private collection.
