Thank you all for your input. The documentation request is in the mail and I will report back when I have that information.

The guns were collected by my grandfather. He was not a wealthy person at all and I would guess these were his most valued possessions. I shot a few of the SxS guns at times with him in the 1980's - I do not believe they have been used since and likely have not seen the light of day but a couple of times in the last 30+ years. I am honored by you all taking interest in this gun.

I think he would get a good laugh out of being the old country lawyer showing up to a gun show in his barely running Chrysler with a German Short Hair riding shotgun and a layer of dog hair and dirt so thick in the car you could hardly tell the interior color. But out of that car he would pull this gun and maybe another and give a little smile and say - oh its just something i had behind the door.

He was a great man from a great generation. Here is a picture of my other favorite gun from my little collection.. Taken in Alsace France December 1944.
