Hi Gents, anyone have any links or info to this maker?

It is a German 9.3x74 double most likely from the guild builders.

We need official proof of the maker as this rifle is having issues bein registered on the Central Firearms Register in SA.

That will be very difficult.

There was a gunsmith named Einbock in Breslau, but Breslau is now called Wroclaw and is part of Poland since 1945. Unfortunately I couldn't find out more about this gunsmith.

If Einbock really was a gunsmith from Silesia, it will be extremely difficult nowadays to find any documentation about him and this rifle.

Has this rifle proof marks ? Unfortunately nothing can be seen in the pictures.
 
Thank you sir. Maybe this one helps:

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
