This is a fantastic German made example of a "Combination Gun", which is double barrel gun where one side is a rifle, and the other a shotgun. This way the hunter would be prepared for both flying and running game. It is fully iron mounted, with some silver inlay around the breech of the barrels and on the lock plates. All of the fittings are nicely engraved, including an elaborate patch or cap box on the right side
