Please elaborate on how you came to know the information you provided
to us if you can, and in what context the information you learned was
used. For example, a ZOLLINGER barrel or ZOLLINGER gun, might refer to
a particular type of weapon or a particular regional manufacturer as
opposed to a person. As another example, nicknames are also prevalent,
as are certain styles (chokes, vented, etc), functions (rifled, etc),
techniques or finishes (like blueings, nickeling, etc).

So far I have been unable to turn up anything on your gun barrel. It's
possible that this particular firearm was made specifically for, or
perhaps owned by "ZOLLINGER" rather than "as" a ZOLLINGER.
