I have purchased a German sxs 16ga and would appreciate any information as to its worth.

It states on the barrel H. weatphal Nachf Peine serial or model 1707
the forearm has a lever that opens the breach by swinging outward.
The triger guard is bone as is the butt plate and forarm lever.

Any info on this gun would be appreciated.

  The only way we can help you, is if you post quality photos of the shotgun. Specially close-ups of all manufacturers markings and Proof Marks.
  
  The link below is to a "sticky" with instructions on how to post photos to our forum.

  David Richard,
  
  Welcome to the Gunbroker Forums!
  
  Please use the 'Sticky' that 'rufe-snow' suggests to post clear, sharp photographs of the shotgun. Details of the proof marks located on the water table and under the barrels and forearms will help tell the story.
  
  I don't recall seeing bone used for the buttplate or trigger guard but there have always been examples of the use of horn for these two pieces.
  
  Best.
