Afw timner shotgun?

[Robinson]

Have a chance to buy one and I cannot find anything info on it. SxS, has hammers on the outside. Anyone has a guess on the value?

There is no way to guess without pics. It could be a $400 gun or a $40,000 gun from what I just googled up.

"AFW Timner 16ga German steel Hammer shotgun "

www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=219023702

I will say Timner made some very fine guns. Here's a 4-barrel true sidelock - 2 are 20 ga. and 2 are 9.3x72R.

Only $38,995.

"August Friedrich Wilhelm Timner was a purveyor of fine shotguns to the royal house of Hohenzollern. His place of business was located in the Prussian Rhenish city of Coblenz. Guns sold by Timner, including those made under contract in Liege, were of the highest quality.
