One of the post WW II gunmakers busy in the 50ies. I think the Gun based on a belgium system from Liege but for sure we have to see the proofstamps on the barrels. Best Regards from Germany, Gunwolf http://www.hunting-heritage.com

Proofed in June 1939 in Suhl. Nice gun! I love the Prince of Wales grip. You should be careful, I think the Cal. is 12/65 not 12/70, that means NO Magnum!

It is worth, what anybody wants to pay who wants it... By the way, I think here in Germany prices for side by side doubles are down. There are only few enthusiast who like them.
