Here is an old German drilling that would be gorgeous if someone had left the stock alone. Someone put a screw though the stock for reasons I can't understand. It has a cheek piece for a lefty shooter. The shotgun barrels are 16 gauge (probably 2 9/16" chambers) and the rifle barrel is most likely 9.3x72 rimmed caliber (there is a marking under the barrel that says 8.67/72mm but from what I've read that is bore diameter not bullet size). I don't even know if this functions but the lockup is tight. The shotgun bores have light surface rust but are smooth and don't looked pitted. The rifle bore is stunning; very clean and looks like it's seen very little use. One very neat feature is the selector on the tang (which I assume selects rifle or shotgun) when pushed forward also deploys the rear sight which otherwise lays flat and out of view. The butt stock has a cartridge storage box in the toe. It also has a recoil pad added and has a small repair at the toe as well. Asking price on these seems to be anywhere from around $3000 to sky is the limit. This one obviously needs work so I am asking $1300 shipped in the lower 48.
The last picture shows the trigger guard which is not metal. It looks like plastic, but given the guns age I wonder if it isn't some sort of horn.
