Picked this up from a local individual who said it was his grandfathers, who he said was in the SA.

He said he will mail me a copy of his grandfathers info once he digs it out from storage.

I didn’t buy it for the story, but the price was fair for $800. He said he used to have the hanger for it, but lost it years ago.

It is an early Gebrüder Heller with solid nickle fittings.

The fittings look like they have a larger gap than they are due to leaving the nut loose for the pictures.

There is a slight gap on all sides when tightened.

Previous owner took a small chip out of the backside bottom edge at one time.
