I aquired this beautiful firearm from a lady friend whose father recently passed away.
It is a side by side shotgun with exposed hammers, and a rifled barrel underneath. Every piece of metal is heavily engraved. With a Stag and Boar on one side of the receiver and Hound and a Fox on the other. The Hound and the Stag appear in front of the trigger guard. The Fox and the Boar are engraved into a stap along side the checkered pistol grip. It has two triggers. A selector lever on the top and a lever along the trigger guard to breach load.
There are no serial numbers but both barrels are stamped underneath with what appears to be a FAN, Crowns with "W" and "U" under them, the number 16 inside a cirle and 17/1. In addition, the rifled barrel is stamped 8.8mm a fan and crown "U".
The name ERNST KUMMER and SUHL are engraved on the top side of both barrels. FLUSS STAHL is also stamped there as well.
It is beautiful firearm and appears to be only "slightly used" The blueing on the barrels is not pitted. there is no rust at all. The stock I have been told is black walnut and has a cheek piece.
If anyone has any information concerning the weapon as well as an idea of it's approximate value and age, please respond.
I have tried to post photos, I have several. Perhaps I can attach them to an email
thanks David
