Notes from the gun shop...

Sales weren't all that bad or that great but there were a lot of people doing Christmas shopping and ordering.  We did get to see another interesting old shotgun.  German, 12 gauge, underlever, dolls-head, striker fired, nitro proof, barrels prominently marked Krupp steel...  Can you identify it?

Appears to read "W. Napp Plau_n" perhaps Plauen, Saxony, Germany


Clearly striker fired, double triggers, underlever
Here you can see watertable with marks and fences...
And here, the barrel marks...
And a bit better view of marks at the breech... proofed in 1910?
View of rear of the breech... "DRGM"=Patent (sort of)
A good representative view of the engraving...

I have something similar. 16 double with same name top of barrel. proof marks are quite the same but more numerous, like it went thru the proof house a couple times. I can't find out anything more about it. can you help ?
