Hello all!
Please help me to identify this 3 barrel rifle.
It belongs to my father,who inherited it from his grand father. After his death, before my father inherited it, the czech communist police officer wanted to seize this rifle and keep it for himself. My father fought for it and won in a legal battle, which ended up in destruction of this rifle as a revenge from this communist police officer (as you can see, the barrels are drilled and chambers are welded).
I don't know almost anything about this rifle, except it has three barrels. The scope mount has been added afterwards and it does not originaly belong there.
The rifle should be 9.3x72R, but the barrel says 8.9x72, the shotgun barrels are 16". There is Nitro written on the barrels and Krupp Essen. If you need more info or pictures, please don't hesitate to ask.
I am considering restoration of the barrels, so if you could tell me from your experience what are the posibilities, I would also welcome such info.
Thank you.
And BTW, this is my first post here, I am no expert, just a guy who wants to make his father a little bit happier. Thanks!
