Introduction and Hi from Australia

Hi I shoot deer and pigs in Australia and mostly joined to enquire about drillings. Most of my firearms background is bolt actions and lever actions and I have been interested in getting a drilling or combination fiream in 9.3 x74R/12ga. Drillings have a small following here, also combination firearms and hence my interest in posting here as I ran some searches on drillings and this site had quite a few threads.

I found the following firearm going for sale in Australia, with very little information on it online. Its German and I am aware the UK and Germany are different countries :) However I was hoping the learned gents here may have heard of the maker etc.

Very cheap at 1500 AUD, which is about 750pounds. Gunstore owner says internal pitting at both the chamber of the 9.3 x 74R and both 16 ga barrels. Its classed as shootable, which I take at face value since he wouldnt want someone getting killed. It locks up fairly tight, some movement in the forend. The barrel has 'Nitro' stamped on it.


Maybe a terrible purchase, Ive just never seen an old hammer drilling before. I might even consider it as an ornamental piece. I have about 30 photos of it I can or PM( assuming anyone is interested in judging it)
 
Thanks fellas, so not a good deal then. The other drilling I can readily get my hands on are new Merkel 96k in 12/12/9.3 x 74R
