this is a 20 gauge. There is some markings on it the the left side has a "c 20 ali sahin" the right side has "celik namlu". The pictures can be seen in the auction. I can take more.

    Not nice to insult a man's gun.

    It may not have value to you, but it has value to someone, even as a wall hanger.

    It might be a Khyber Pass special, or the it's Turkish equivalent? A simple utility shotgun made by a local blacksmith.

    Doubtful if it has any great value.

    celik namlu is Turk for steel barrel. ali sahin MAY be the maker. Turkey has a ton of cottage gun makers. Rather like Belgium in 1880- except the Belgians made better stuff.


    EDIT: "Threads" MAY be the remains of using a lathe and a drill bit to bore out the barrel.

    Unlikely as it may seem[:D] It might have been threaded by the old world craftsman who made it, for screw in chokes.

    While it is legally a "firearm", I would note in my description "Decorator only ---- NOT SAFE TO SHOOT", just to CYA. The last thing anyone in business needs is a liability law suit.

    You may just get a $100 bid from someone decorating a new steak house.

    Penny start and $30 shipping for $30.01 seems about right.

    ADMIN has asked you play nice and you have refused to understand that concept. If you don't like what a poster asks move on.

    Hey admin, thanks for doing what you do. I have yet to be insulted, I know the gun isn't worth much.

    Rufe-snow the gun isn't threaded just abused a little.

    everyone else thanks for the info, research will continue.
