firearm handmade by B?chsenmacher of Braunschweig
Hello!
I inherited firearm handmade by personal gunmaker of
Duchy of Brunswick (Braunschweig in German). Pics can be found http://www.flickr.com/photos/41865571@N02/
Im interested your expert opinion about the value and history of this firearm or guidance where to inquire further.
What is know so far is that the head gunmaker (Hofb?chsenmacher) W.A.E Seydlitz died in 1869.
Thank you all in advance!

It appears to be a ornate double barreled shotgun. If it was made prior to 1869 it's not clear what ignition system or type of shell it was chambered for. From the length of the breech it might be some type of "needle fire".
