My ex father in law brought one (confiscated from a house in Austria) home at WWII's end, a gorgeous piece with gold rings, game scenes and gold initials in 2x 16 Ga over a 7.65x something rimmed. The horn trigger guard was similar and receiver engraved by maker E. Collath. If not maker marked it's likely a "Guild" gun.
Can you identify this gun manufacturer ?

Following a fantastic topic.
Since the tag says Drilling I vote for Drilling as the manufacturer.

No they were all way out of the price range I could afford. Online bidders took the day.

Originally a black powder cartridge . A little less lethal than a 30 30
I would check the length of those shotgun chambers also
Guild gun maybe
No significant value. Buy it and you likely will never be able to sell it

No value ? They sure had a value the day of the auction. There were 6 of these for sale. All just as beautiful as the next. I was willing to buy one for $2,000.00 if the opportunity presented itself. Which it did not. I could not afford to bid higher at this time w/ out going into a small amount of debt. For which I try to stay away from.
