Interesting Firearm Photos XVI

This Krieghoff Neptune Drilling gun (double barrel shotgun + 8x57mm rifle barrel) is believed to have been owned by Adolf Hitler. It was taken from Hitler’s Berchtesgaden retreat in the Bavarian mountains by US Army’s 506th Parachute Regiment. The trigger guard is engraved with Hitler's initials.
