You can get more info about this on the German Gun Collectors site or the German & Austrian Sporting Guns @ doublegunshop.com site.
Ask if they have snap caps to check if each barrel can be fired (most likely they will not have snap caps)
But it sounds like you need to look elsewhere.
Good luck!

The biggest hang up i have is that this store catches A LOT of oddball stuff so, I frequent it very often. They always have very good prices on more niche guns as well. I'll see if i can persuade them to let me do a more thorough inspection
