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:

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
