Help identifying old shotgun

Stipe

 Hey everyone,

I need help with the identification of the year and brand of a shotgun/rifle. It's a double barrel shotgun with both 16 gauge and 9,3x72 ammo. Looks very old but it's very well preserved. It has no brand or any writing except of course of the proof markings. I'm attaching pics of the disarming of the shotgun, the ammo and the proof marks.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That is a German "cape gun" and appears to be custom made.  I need to take a look at some of my research materials to decipher the proof marks.

Very cool gun!

Yeah, already got that from wikipedia. I need to know the year it was made and the brand. Could it be Sauer & Sons? Is there a guide for determining year with that serial number? 22XX

It looks beautifully made. If thats a variation of the Jones underlever they're very strong. If it checks out in sound condition you could keep it alive with home taylored low pressure ammunition if you're of a mind to.

The guy that sold it told us it was a Sauer & Sons. But I haven't been able to find the "lion" proofmark present on both barrels to determine that either.

Sometimes an expert appraisal or a detailed reference book are heads and shoulders above information found on line.
