Yep, I had to sell a J. P. Sauer and Sohns drilling,,,
Mom and Dad gave me a German made drilling for my 14th Christmas,,,
They were antique dealers and practically stole it.
Double-barreled 20 gauge with a 9.3x57 rifle underneath,,,
It had a rear rifle sight that popped up when you cocked the rifle,,,
The trigger guard and the butt plate were made of some type of horn,,,
There was a small silver (plate?) trapdoor behind the pistol grip for 4 rifle rounds.
20 years later My wife and I both lost our jobs within a week of each other,,,
We toughed it out as long as we could but that drilling made several house payments.
Almost all of my firearms were sold that year,,,
The only two I managed to keep were my 8mm Lebel revolver,,,
And the 8mm K-98 rifle my Uncle Bantie brought back from WW-II.
Looking back on it now,,,
I should have sold the wife's horses.
