Inherited a shotgun from my Father who was stationed in Germany during the WW2 occupation.
It has no visible manufacturers name, only inscription is "Krupp Fluss Stahl."
It is a 16 gauge side by side hammer gun with a very unique break open. No tang, the forearm slides to the right to open.
No visible serial number.
It is engraved, with a deer in a prone position, and a bird dog with a pheasant in flight.
The proof marks are so worn, all I can make out are 3 S's in a vertical row, with other markings below and to the left that appear to be some kind of ovals.
Believe it to be German, or possibly Belgium.
Also think it could date back to the late 1800's.
Did take some decent photos, but honestly, couldn't figure out how to do it.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks
