I have an antique shotgun that belonged to my father. It is a 16 gauge double barreled hammer (rabbit-eared) shotgun made in Belgium (I think). It has the following inscription stamped on the right barrel: "Amtlich Vierfach Geprueft U-Eingeschossen Mitstaerkster Ladung Rauchlossen Pulvers."
On the top, between the barrels (I think this is called the web) the words appear to be: Otto Lang Schweinfurt inlaid in gold (I wish) or brass (most likely).
My research on Google tells me that the first part (stamped on the barrel) means the gun was testfired four times with a smokeless powder charge.
Does anyone have information on Otto Lang Schweinfurt?
