Need info on an unmarked German combination gun. Very well made 20ga single shot bolt action over a pump action, tube-fed 8mm/? rifle. Takes down just in front of dual trigger assembly. NO makers name or proofs. one barrel marked KRUPP ESSEN Laufstahl. Altogether extremely well made, rust blued, fine checkered wood, excellent bores. ANYONE ??? See photos on hunt101.com.- GERMAN COMBO

    It would be best if you could post quality photos. The firearm you describe sound very unusual, to say the least. Just because the barrel is marked "Krupp", I wouldn't assume it's German made. Very, Very few of their firearms are found without proof marks. Also, bolt action shotguns and pump action rifles are something that are not normally made in Germany, or in fact any of the gun making countries in that part of the world.

    I would like to see pics of that. I have never heard of a design like that.

    Edit: I have never seen anything like that so I can't help you any, but that is a beautiful firearm and I would love to add that to my collection. (Just can't afford to right now[:(])

    crockette,

    More pictures give a greater chance of someone being able to identify your firearm.

    That is REALLY an unusual piece!
    Maybe if you go to e-Gun.de and post the pictures there you'll get a response.Or maybe you could get jonk from this site to do it for you.
    He's an excellent German speaker.

    Keep us posted.

    Never seen anything quite like it before! Unless it was some apprentices "masterwork", doubt very seriously it originates from Europe.

    It definitely would fall into the category of one of a kind firearms, known as, "Firearms Curiosa". There are a number of big buck collectors who specialize in this kind of stuff. It's apparent suburb condition would definitely be a plus.
