A nice o/u combination gun, congratulations on its acquisition. Proofed in Suhl. Unless the shotgun chamber has been lengthened to 2 3/4 it is 2 1/2, you will have to check. The shotgun barrel is choked but you will have to check the degree.
Properly loaded the 8 X 57 is as good as the 30-06 for any North American game except probably the big bears. When you receive it you should cast the chamber and slug the bore to confirm what it is.
I would urge caution. Fine German firearms are as addictive as heroin. I have no experience with heroin but way too much with German firearms.
