Koschat Austrian Bockbüchsflinte, 16/70 & 7×57R
1963 Jakob Koschat Ferlach Combination Gun – 16/70 and 7×57R – Engraved – Claw-Mounted Scope Offered is a finely made Austrian over-under combination gun, or Bockbüchsflinte, produced in Ferlach and proofed in 1963. It combines a 16-gauge shotgun barrel with a 7×57R rifle barrel, making it a classic European hunting arm suitable for both game and sporting-gun collections. The barrel assembly is marked 16/70 and Böhler Rasant Stahl. The Ferlach proof-register marking 3750.63 indicates proofing in 1963. A separate maker-number marking appears to read 26.334; Ferlach maker code 26 is attributed to gunmaker Jakob Koschat. Features include: • Over-under 16-gauge/7×57R configuration • 16/70 shotgun chamber • Böhler Rasant steel barrels • Double triggers • Extensive hand-style hunting-scene engraving • Game birds engraved on one side and deer on the other • European cheekpiece stock • Sling swivels • Detachable scope in traditional European claw mounts • Ferlach proof marks • 1963 proof date • Maker number 26.334 The gun presents very attractively, with handsome walnut, detailed engraving and a traditional bright-finished receiver. The wood and metal show normal age and handling wear visible in the photographs. No representation is made here regarding bore measurements, headspace, regulation, choke constriction or mechanical condition unless separately documented. The rifle chambering should be independently confirmed as 7×57R before firing. Inspection by a gunsmith familiar with European combination guns is recommended. Additional photographs of the markings, action, barrel flats, scope and wood are available. Sale and shipment must comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and, where required, be completed through a licensed firearms dealer.
