Hello experts!

I've come across one that is completely new to me while helping to price an estate for a friend of mine who has a business clearing gun estates.

This is a 16ga sidelock with a Greener crossbolt stamped " J Springer" and "Wein" on the barrels with a 4 digit serial number on the lower tang. Modest engraving and Belgian proof marks. I did a little bit of research and it seems like the company produced high end firearms early on in Austria and then was sold in the late 50s. My guess is that this was made in the 60s sometime by the new owner? Anyone have a clue?

It's a svelt 6lbs 2 oz, 28" barrels with a small wrist/frame reminiscent of my AH Fox guns. Points quite nicely.

It will go to auction eventually, just no clue where to start the bidding. Any information is helpful.
