Can anyone give me some feedback on this.
It was a WWII bringback. The bbl, action, and forearm fit well, never fired....looks to be 'in the making'. It is all in the white, the side-plates don't seem to match the action...but others may know better.

With my limited skills, putting this bbl to use can be done, but it would be a 'working piece' as I'm not as skilled as others are. I'm interested in information....and if anyone has ideas for it...I'm open to suggestions.

THANKS as always.

    Hello Just my $.02 but I think you have parts of two different guns The barrels forearm and breach part of the action looks to me as a Fire-Arm that was in the stage of being refinished Yet the side-plates look like they are new . If new I would think the roll marks on BOTH BARREL would be complete. not polished off on one end of one barrel.

    Looks like a nitro proofed 16ga German made SxS made in june of 1929 that someone was preparing to have restored....but never got around to it....looks like a couple good quality back action locks but cant tell if they go with the rest of the parts without seeing side and bottom pics of the action...

    Krupp was the maker of the steel the barrels are fabricated from, not the gunsmith who made the shotgun.

    The German proof marks in the photos predate the W W II era by at least 10 years. As I believe the "6/29" marking is the proof date. It's possible these parts had been in storage and never assembled into a working shotgun, it doesn't seem likely though. As this date was some 16 years prior to when a American G.I. could have picked it up as a souvenir.
