Old drillings are flooding the market now that Germany has passed draconian gun laws, and inheriting the families' guns is now next to impossible. These old hammer snap-action guns are not too desirable, since better hammerless guns are now so cheap.
As a for-instance, I just passed on a rock solid 1970s Simson drilling in 16ga 2 3/4" chambers over 7X57R, scoped with a Zeiss 6X Diatal in claw mounts. The gun had some moderate exterior wear but nothing out of the ordinary. The price to me was $1,650.00 plus $40.00 insured shipping.
I estimate your gun's value at $600.00-$900.00, depending on condition. It's very expensive to shoot 65mm 16ga ammo and 9,3X72R ammo. 2 3/4" ammo and 7X57R ammo are relatively inexpensive.
