Bought and still have a 1936 3-digit model 70 30-06 for $300.00. # 36X

I just got this Buhag 12ga SXS shotgun for $200.00 from Simpson. Add shipping and FFL fee and I paid $255.00. Buhag guns were made by the Suhl small gunmakers who still had shops after WWII. Being now in Eastern Germany they had high tariffs on their products charged by the West. The GDR had them form the consortium and often sell below cost through it to get badly needed cash from western nations. People usually see the name "Buhag" and are turned off by it, not knowing that these were made by Germany's premier fine gun makers.

This turned out to be a Kessler action gun. Kessler was one of the best receiver/action makers for the "guild". It has a chipped butt plate, but I have a good replacement.The wood is perfect, as are the bores, and it's tight on face.
