Not much of real (physical) work but I would like to find some information on a double barrel 16 bore shotgun that my grand father brought home from Germany after WWII. It is what is referred to as a cross-over style (I think). Fired from the right shoulder. Looks like someone tried to wrap it around a tree, however it appears to have been made that way originally as it's not just the stock that's shaped that way.
The upper tang and lower tang, trigger guard, trigger plate, safety button, even the triggers are made at a sweeping curve. The barrel release lever is also made with a sweeping curve. It has selective ejectors and cocking indicators which protrude upward behind the standing breech. Very delicate engraving full coverage on the boxlock action. Fitted with sling swivels and a cheek piece on the butt stock. As soon as I can get some photo's of it (barrel flats and water table) showing the proof marks and such I will post them and maybe some knowledgeable people on the forum can shine some light on it for me.
