Thank you Raimey,
Can you please explain how you determined "Zella Mehlis craftsmen" and Schilling Forge and exactly who the heck that is? I always thought the gun was either Simson or a German guild gun. Attached is a picture of the forend hanger and some others. It is a 12/16 two barrel set.

thank you again
