Hello everyone.
Good day.
I used to hunt with my grand father's old shotgun.
Its an old double barrel.
I dont know what type, name, model or which country made of the gun.

Now my problem is, i lost it's safety slide lever behind the barrel's select lever while cleaning and oil as usual.
I wonder if any experts here can help identify what name and model is this so i can
buy replacement.
Thanks in advance,

Regards.

Post some pics of the watertable markings and barrel flat markings and someone here should be able to help ID the gun.

Thanks for the reply sir.

U are the only reply i've got.
out of a few hunting/shotgun's forum i've posted this.
Appreciate it very much.

Will get pictures and post when i get home.

You will almost certainly need to have the part made & fitted by a qualified double-gun oriented gunsmith. Probably won't cost too much and he could check it out for any other issues while in the shop.

There is probably something stamped/engraved on the top rib &/or sides of the barrels which would give an indication of either the maker or retailer among other things. There may also be something in the sides of the action or on the trigger guard.

The stamps on the bottom of the barrel flats as well as inside the watertable (flat interior of action where barrels fit) will show proofmarks and likely other information that can help identify the maker, country of origin and possibly date of manufacture.

FWIW.

It is probably the piece that puts it on Automatic safet when the gun is opened. If so, you can get on without it.

The gun being an o/u does not have a proper water table.
Markings on the barrels will help.
I would venture it is Italian, maybe a Franchi. The engraving does not look too
shoddy. This is a total shot in the dark.

Should be no issue if we can determine the manufacturer and model.
As said, most likely the info will be on the barrels.
Also, what is on the butt/recoil pad of the gun, any markings?

Wow! Thanks everyone for the helps.
Here's few more shots of it.
I saw someting at the bottom. tried clean it and found a script written "scirroco".
Tried google it to find the missing [safety slide pin] but no luck.
Anyone can help locate one?

I mean the circled part.
Thanks everyone in advance.

Gun doesn't look that old to me...
