Hi:
I have recently inhetited an over/under, double barrel shotgun, and would like a little assitance determining its date of manufacture/origin/approximate value.
Please bear with me, as I know very little about guns, but here is what I found:
There is a crest in fron of the trigger housing with the initials D.R.P and the #78411 under the letters.
Under the removeable forearm piece, there are the following #'s: 1492## which I assume is the serial #. After which is stamped 8,9mm.
Around the base of the left barrel are the words: FLUSS STAHL. The right barrel says "KRUPP ESSEN".
There are the letters "CH" at the base of what I believe to be the rear rifle sight
The gun is in very good shape, with a few dings on the stock, and an overall grungy finish to the steel.
Again I apologize for my lack of knowledge, but would appreciate any input.
Thanks,
Jason
