That's about the oddest looking critter I've ever seen. Can't wait to hear if anyone can ID it.

JBP, that was a thought from a British gunsmith friend. Might be the reason for no proofmarks. I don't want to lead us away from any other new ideas, though.

That does not look Belgian to me.
Prussian/German yes. Belgian no.
It does look neat though!
Can you get the fore-wood off and the barrels off for a better look all around?
I'm surprised that there are no marks on it.
Not even witness marks or maker's marks?
Cheers

Geno, here's a couple of pics. I wonder if the checkering detail gives any hints. Tinker, I did get all of the forend wood off, and no marks at all on wood or metal.

Sure would like to see the inside!
I would also think German or Austrian!

What does the front sight look like? What do the muzzles look like? Go ahead, show us more!  What was living in that dovetail? Cheers Tinker

I'd guess something from Sauer -
Have you had the stock off the action yet?
I wonder if it has intercepting sears..?
