Dating to 1920, this German boxlock Drilling exemplifies the storied heritage of continental hunting arms, pairing dual 16-gauge shotgun barrels over an 8x57 rifle barrel for versatile field utility. Bearing the distinctive inscription of retailer E. Scheinert of Osnabrück along its solid tapered rib, it showcases the classic craftsmanship characteristic of early twentieth-century German gunmaking.

This example is presented in overall good condition for its age, showcasing decorative receiver engraving, a distinctive horn trigger guard, and a pistol-grip stock with a raised cheekpiece that displays honest handling marks alongside an authentic stock repair screw adjacent to the action. The 25 ½-inch barrels retain roughly 95% bluing, featuring bright, clean bores across both 2 ½-inch shotgun chambers and the rifled bore.

Mechanically, the action locks up tight on face, operating with double triggers, extractors, and a manual safety equipped with an integrated barrel selector. Featuring fixed full chokes on both shotgun barrels, this C&R-eligible Drilling remains an exceptional, multi-purpose sporting piece for the discerning collector.
