Hello all, I'm new here and from SE AZ, USA.
I'd really like to find out as much history and possible value range on an Emil Kerner, Suhl side by side 16g, exposed hammer shotgun I just acquired. It is completely engraved and checkered. Has alot of proof markings and such. I'm especially interested in date of manufacture and what type ammo I can fire.
The barrels measure 29", and the weight is approx 6.5lbs. Very light compared to my Riverside arms 16g. The plastic part of the buttplate is obviously a replacement, but the screws in the butt plate appear to match the engraved screws throughout the gun. I cannot get the the trigger with screw to "set" in any way. It does not "click" when pushed forward. There is about an 1/8" play forward and about a 1/4" play backward. It fires at the same point each time. Both barrels are smooth.
