My family has the following gun. I am not sure what it is, but I will try to describe it and add some pictures. Am hoping someone will recognize it and be able to provide me with some information as to its value. Thank you, in advance, for your help.
Heym and Son, Suhl, Muzzle-loading, double barrel hammer gun.
The Damascus barrels are approximately 31.5 inches in length - I'm not fully sure where to begin the measurement from.
The hammers have two cocked positions (half-cock, full cock?).
The Monte Carlo stock has a 14 inch LOP and is nicely carved.
Most of the metal surfaces are engraved and many of them have a goldish cast.
The top rib is engraved "Heym n Sohn ~ Suhl" and appears to be gold filled, though not all the letters remain filled.
The ramrod slides out and has a sort of "Pig's Tail" metal end. The bore diameters are about 5/8ths of an inch (I'm sorry I cannot measure these more exactly). It appears to have a replacement screw involved with the left hammer.
Seems like a pretty light, small-framed gun, especially for a muzzle-loader. I will try to load pictures, below.
If anyone can tell me anything about the gun, I would be most appreciative. Again, I would also appreciate a rough estimate as to its value.
Kind regards,
T.R. Kline
