Thanks for the help with the Mauser guys. I really appreciated it.I found this next gun in the mountains of Peru. It is unusual for me though maybe not for you. It is labeled as Rebora hermanos (brothers) lima. It has typical under and over shot gun look and feel but the top barrel is a 22 calibre and is stamped 22 CALIBRE LONG RIFLE The bottom barrel looks like a quail shooting calibre but is stamped PROOF TESTED 410 BORE 3 INCH CHAMBER. I cannot tell if it is a shotgun barrel or another type of solid shell. It is much smaller than a normal shotgun anyway

The model number number is extremely small and I think it is
MODEL 24
PATENT 2259797










I would like to know the age of this and what would be a typical price in the US for such a gun. I think with a very little work it would be fireable

  To me it looks like a Savage Model 24 knock off. They were very versatile combination guns, and came in various gauges, and rifle chamberings.

  It's known in the States as the Savage Model 24. They have been in production for over 60 years under both the Stevens and Savage names. They are quite common here and generally will sell in the $200-$500 range depending on condition and caliber/gauge of the rifle and shotgun barrels.
  
  Your is chambered for the standard .22 Long Rifle over .410 shotgun. This is the most common variation found. Unfortunately in the condition yours is in it would only be in the $50-$150 range.

  Do you think it is an actual SAVAGE or a copy?

  My feeling is that it's a actual Savage with the Peruvian dealers name marked on the receiver. If this was done in the States or in Peru, I don't know?

  If it's a copy it's really good. Savage may have "branded" some of those for S.America.
  
  To the OP, I'll send you a name and phone number of a guy who will either buy that from you, or pay you to send it out here to AZ to take pics of it for his book he's writing on the Savage 24s.
  
  ETA: Well I WOULD have, but you don't have an email listed. Please PM me or email me at daewoorifleparts@live.com and I'll give you his contact info.

  Rebora Brothers were importers and distributors. If your over and under had been MADE in Peru, it would not have English markings on it.
