This nice old European shotgun followed me home from the Calgary gun show. I'd like to know more about it. All I know is that the 16 ga. barrels are German Krupp steel, both the 28" set and the 32" set are choked R skeet and L extra full, the original 65MM chambers have been lengthened to 70MM (2-3/4") and the only serial number is "5" on the underside of both barrels and the action flat. It bears no makers name, and very few proof marks. I could not find matching proof marks anywhere on line when doing the usual Google search. It is very well made, light, and the action is still crisp and solid. There is no rust on or in the barrels and no significant wear on moving parts. Excellent shape for a gun I estimate at 100 years old. It will become my bird gun when hunting grouse, partridge and pheasant with pointing dogs.
Can you shed any light on this guns history or maker?

You might try doublegunshop.com.
Lots of folks there for whom this is their specialty.

You lucky stiff. Luv me some hammer guns to death. Crazy guess is a standard guild gun made in Suhl but I won't make a wager.

I would also add get on NitroExpress.com forums because if they don't know what it is then no one else will.
Try this guy. Super nice and does free appraisals. He seems to know about a ton of obscure stuff, especially When European.
