This was Bechtler's shotgun, holy crap...congrats!
Maybe he used this coin as target practice 😉

Did you win that at auction?

Cool I like it when a good history gets better
@DCW to the contrary, I work for a company that will be offering the object at auction. Likely February

Nice. A lot of Bechtler Boys here on the forum. Would be a nice associated piece for any specialized collection. Museum worthy for sure!

I’d love to the stock, probably beautiful wood
give you five dollars for it?
just kidding. nice shotgun. does it still fire?
Cool! I've been looking for one of those for quite a while. Do you know anything about these? Is it normal for the maker's name to be so prominently displayed? Seems odd to me.

Looks to me that it was engraved and gold filled with his name. Thinking it was his personal shotgun.
Could be, but the Bechtlers did make guns.

If made by and engraved for A. Bechtler that would be a very cool gun.
Wow... What a treasure. That is an amazing old shotgun. Would really like to see more pictures if available. Cheers, RickO
