Hammers are rebounding and the strikers are small so it was made in the late 1880s or very early 1890s. The striker holes are well formed and many of the other components looks to have little wear. From the engraving including the screw holding the forend iron, I would hazard a guess it came from Zella Sankt Blasii -Mehlis and that Oswald Suchardt played a large part in the construction. He may not have been the GC(General Contractor) but he was involved. I am a huge fan of such Biks(Biksarica)/Büshflinte-Sorte/Combos as they are very useful and handy. The rifled tube is probably Gußstahl/Cast Steel and the scattergun tube is more than likely Fluid Steel. Live Large with it in Good Health as the new Custodian.
