Would anyone have any knowledge of a 12 guage sxs shotgun made in Suhl Germany in the late 30's or early 40's? On the barrel of the shotgun is the enscription Buhag - Suhl. I believe that this is a gun made by the Buhag family in Suhl Germany? The barrel also reads special-geviehr lauf stahl (?Steel). This gun is in excellent condition and has very detailed enscriptions on both sides with lots of German marks. Some of the german marks are crowns and there is a number stamped (same 3-digit number) on all parts of the gun. Does anyone have any information on this type of shotgun and what this gun may be worth?

I really appreciate any help with this matter.

Thanks,

John

  BUHAG ---- Buchsenmacher-Handwerkgenossenschaft M.B.H. of Suhl, East Germany...Your shotgun was made prior to 1935...gevier stahl mean Rifle Steel capable of shooting Modern smokeless powder loads..BUHAG was mainly noted for making Target Pistol and Rifles The Olympia comes to mind..if was a Clip Fed Automatic...A shotgun such as yours is going to command a Premium because of the Age and Type and Condition...$500.00 to $850.00 to a collector...
  The Crowns and Numbers refer to Proofs and Inspectors marks....
