Googled them myself out of curiosity. They are still at the same address, but their telephone number has changed.
TÜRKMEN KİTABEVİ
Sahaflar Çarşısı No: 19
BEYAZIT
Tel: 011 90 212 512 22 71
(011 for international, 90 for Turkey and 212 for Beyazit, Istanbul.)
No website that I can see, but active in internet bookselling. Suggest you find your local Turkish consul and email him the photos – he/ she will help.
Interesting find, what does the gun look like?

I gave a Mod 12 to a friend one time and upgraded the stock to fancy walnut. In the throughbolt area under the butt plate, I found 3 Missouri hunting licenses (1929-31) which were $1 each. Along with that were a bunch of $5 gold pieces. Ceratinly paid for the gun many times over.

The gun was a 16 gauge double made around 1965 i believe and the gun is in very good mechl. condition, however the but stock looked like it had been dragged down a gravel road. The last 6-8 inches of the butt looked as if it was banged on some rocks, however the metal was good as was the lockup and the bores

Pete That was about the time (April 1933) that Roosevelt ordered all of the US gold to be confiscated. Seems like the previous owner of the Model 12 was willing to protect what was his by force if necessary.

I sold the gold but still have at least one of the licences. I don't think Roosevelt confiscated gold. He took us off the gold standard and stopped minting gold coins. He also had the gold certificates removed from circulation.

If this Presidential Order dated April 1933 is legitimate the directive to deliver all gold currancy to your local Federal Reserve Bank sure sounds like confiscation to me. http://www.the-privateer.com/1933-gold-confiscation.html

No, coins are NOT currency. Also, the gold certificates were replaced with silver certificates as they were replaced with Federal Reserve Notes in the late 60's as silver certificates were retired. Our notes are now backed with Obamma promises. Doesn't THAT make you feel all warm and fuzzy!

If I was to pick ONE act that started us down the path to Socialism this would be it. We went from the gold standard on to the silver standard on to the point in 1964 where the only backing for our currency was and is the governments promise to pay. There is a law most of us learned about while taking Money and Banking in college called Greshams Law. This law states that bad money will drive good money out of circulation every time. I'm NOT blaming what happened here on any ONE entity as all the politicians allowed this to happen. Prior to 1964 you could exchange a dollar bill for the equivelent in silver coin. I think you all know what would happen if you tried to do this today. Jim
