BTW, what might be the meaning of the Golden Crest? Are those a pair of chamois horns, meaning the owner took a Gams in gold medal?
With kind regards,

Raimey, you may be right, I have no pictures for the moment - will take some later.
My friend is going to restaurate the gun (not by himself but by Frederik van Breen from The Netherlands:http://www.gunsandgunstocks.com/documents/132.html)
Jani, that is the weapon of the owner's family since more than 700 years and yes, indeed these are Gams horns.

Gunwolf,
This is just my unsolicited opinion, but from the different proofs and difference in appearence of the wood, as well as both 16ga and 12 ga chambering;it looks like the gun was made with one barrel set, and had others added later(maybe by other gunsmiths).Putting aside my preference for 16ga,I agree this is a very good useful combination of barrels.

Mike, as usual, you are right! First there was the BBF in combination with the DG barrels 12/70. Later he let make a set of DR barrels in 9,3 x 74R. BTW, this is not fitting right any longer. I presume because my friend hasn`t shot with it since 20 years or so. But he shot with the BBF. Do you think this is possible? The barrels do not shut complete.

Wolfgang,
If the barrels don't shut, I can't see how that would be caused by shooting the BBF barrels.Without seeing the gun,I can't identify the cause of the problem, if there is a problem. A new set of barrels would normally be fitup pretty tight, and since these haven't been shot much,they might just be "stiffer" than the others.Since he is going to have the gun renovated,I suggest he talk to his gunsmith about it.If there is a problem,it would be much easier to repair, than if it was too loose.

Thanks Mike,
it's only curious because many years ago he shot with these barrels and now they do not fit. I'm sure the Gunsmith will solve the problem. BTW, the DR barrels were made in 1961.
