Ok I give up. I can't find anything on this gun. It's a 32 gauge double. Maker was Edourd Schroeder around 1905. The markings are ES in a circle, G6 on both hammers, EL in script letters and the numbers 129. Anyone know a value on this

  Best to post quality photos for information and valuation.
  
  That said, not very likely a 100+ year old, 32 gauge double is going to sell for much on this side of the pond, IMHO.

  Have very little information on Edward Schroder. Here's what I have:
  "Gun maker located in 8 Rue Renoz Liege, Belgium from about 1900 to 1912. The firm registered the following trademarks in Belgium.
  Trademark Date put into use
  E.S, August 13,1905
  Regina September 11,1903"
  
  Just being in business for twelve years, he could not have produced many shotguns
  There was another maker named Schroder Freres from 1920 to 1940 who may have been the sucessor to Edward Schroder.

  The EL marking is likely ELG- the Belgian proof mark. The 32s are still p[opular in Europe and South America as bird guns.
