Krupp Stahl Drilling #2

I took some more pictures of the proof marks and really am interested in feed back. Value, Origination, Manufacture Date etc. I have found this research to be very fun!!
From some of the "stuff" I have been reading and researching I am guessing that it was either made or proofed in Sept. 1905; just a guess based on the 9.05 on the rifle barrel. A book entry had mentioned that often the date is confused with the gauge. You guys will probably know more than me though!!
Again any input is great appreciated. What is the last picture? Is that the barrel selector? Also note you can check out the other post as listed above for more gun pics! Thanks Again.

Anyone have any additional info as to proof markings and numbers listed? Thanks 0 -
Krupp Stahl means Krupp Steel.
There should be a maker's name on the rib. I suppose there is none as you didn't mention it.
The selector switch to change one of the triggers to fire the rifle barrel is normally on the tang. Pushing the switch forward will raise the rear sight (on most drillings) and will switch one of the triggers to fire the rifle barrel. It is common for the trigger that fires the rifle to be a set trigger. Pushing it forward will set it.
A side view of the entire drilling would be helpful, as would a view of the buttplate and fore end. As it is shown, we can't even determine if it is a side lock or box lock.0 -

If it does not have a makers name, it is a guild gun.
Better than average quality.0
