Cape Gun??

I have a what looks to be a very old side by side shotgun/rifle. The only things that I can make out on the barrel are: KABA, 9 m/m, a #72 on the butt plate and what looks to be the number 4 on the right side of the reciever. The Left barrel is a smooth bore and is smaller than a 410 (possibly 36ga?) and the Right barrel is a 22. I am looking for any information possible about this firearm such as maker, model, where it comes from, value, or anything that you can tell me? Thanks in advance!

    WELCOME TO THE "SHOW" IT IS HARD TO VALUE A GUN WITHOUT CONDITION. I THINK WHAT YOU HAVE< HARD TO TELL FOR SURE WITH OUT PICS< IS A "GAMEKEEPER" THE SHOTGUN WOULD BE A 9MM . WINCHESTER AMOUNG OTHERS MADE A 9MM SHOTGUN. HOPE THIS HELPS TO GET YOU STARTED. LET US HAVE MORE INFO AND GOOD LUCK.

    I WOULD RATHER BE DUCK HUNTING.

    Just a FYI thing
    The 32ga has a .526" bore
    The .410bore would be a 68ga
    There is a 360 Centerfire (99ga) a 9.1x40mm (101ga), and a 9mm CF (105ga) These were used mainly in Europe .
    Than there are the 9mm (105ga) and smaller rimfires (down to the 20cal Wingo, 582ga)
    My ref dosn't show a 36ga shotshell.

    Is your shot barrel a CF or a RF?

    Some guys like a mag full of lead, I still prefer one round to the head.
