Went with my friend over to her granddads yesterday to visit for Easter. Me and him always end up talking guns for a hour or so and today he asked it I'd oil his guns for him ,him being 90 it's a little hard for him to do it properly. Well he has this old double barrel 12ga that caught my eye and after he gave a little story on it (apparently it was found in a briar thick and was brought back and had a hand made stock put on it, supposed to have killed many a deer out to 80yd with 00buck shot). Well I cleaned it up best I could and after my freind mentioned I might be able to he said he'd really appreciate it if I could mabye try and find some info about this gun. I tried looking up the various markings but wasn't super successful. Kept getting stuff made in the 1890's but that's about it. No real values or anything. Aaannny how wanted to see if any of y'all might know something.

You most likely have googled twist steel, if you have not please do so. Please don't fire modern ammunition in it till you do.

Wolfe….what is the writing on the left side plate?

Google pieper breech twist finish double barrel shotgun. A bunch of info comes up about similar guns.

I have no answers to your questions but tell your friend that is one cool old gun.

You could email track of the wolf and they will tell you about it. They are great and knowledgeable.

Good Idea

great gun

The proof mark stamps on the barrels can tell you alot if you research them.

Most of those guns in that time period were 2 1/2 inch so unless it has been bored out.
some where on the proofs it should be. There is a stamp of 18 mm??figured out that is the choke size and that is tight.....
