Smades87, one of the reasons that pix are important and posters keep asking for them is that Peiper made a full range of qualities of shotguns--all over the place-- from "farmer guns" to fine, if not "Best," ones. So identifying what you have matters in terms of value and whether it is worth investing in repairs, etc.

There also may be some safety issues involved....you don't want to try to shoot 20 guage shells in a 24 guage or long 12 guage shells in a short chambered 12, for example.

I have one Peiper, a nice interesting one, and owned another, a farmer gun that was a wreck not worth fixin' nor safe to shoot.

Besides, we're a very nosy bunch when it comes to doubles....
