Default G - ECO

Hey guys, A friend of mine at work just bought a sxs. Its not a parker. Has anyone seen a gun with the markings G ECO? It also reads MG STAHL on the barrels. It's a 16 ga hammer gun. Any info would be appreciated.

a quick search found this

"GECO- was a firearms retailer in Berlin. Gustave Genshow & Company.

Just as many companies made guns for Sears, several makers made guns for GECO. Most commonly, J P Sauer und Sons. But there were others (Simpson is one). Some were made in Germany, some in Belgium.

"
Proof marks should at least identify the country of origin

I did find a current Hungarian company website for MG-STAHL - no way to know its the same company

Stahl translates to steel
