12 bore on a drilling that early would definitely be outside the norm, 16's being much more popular and common....and for good reason. I'd ask to see the proof marks. There is NO FLY's on anything by Johann Springer if it's in any condition and most firearms from that era from Germany exhibit a quality we aren't used to seeing. I concur with Erich's pricing.
