Hello,
First I'd like to ask your forgiveness for my ignorance.
The story, as I've been told, is that someone who went to world war 2 found a German Drilling gun and brought it home. From there it has somehow managed to get into the hands of my father in law. Sadly, I dislike my father in law, but his wife, his daughter(my wife), and I actually, wanted to know a little more about this gun.
I saw this gun just a couple of days ago and it was the first time I had ever seen one at all. It was absolutely beautiful. It had remarkable engravings over every square inch of metal on the gun. I wish I could have taken pictures, some other time perhaps. Anyway, on the top of the gun the names Krupp and Laufstahl are engraved which I assume are the makers or something. I found 1 serial number on it, which took some hunting actually, and I think I found a date on it but I was foolish and forgot to write that down.
So, I was hoping that someone might be able to tell me a little more about the history of this gun and how much something like that might be worth in todays market, although I have advised them to not sell it. I've tried to do some searching of my own online to no avail. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Again, thanks.
