Hello guys
I came upon this odd shotgun belonging to a friends father recently and would be most obliged if someone could help me identify it.
The left hand barrel is a normal full choke .12 bore but the right hand is amazingly rifled and approximately of the same bore! The only meaningful identification mark I could read on the barell is "ROBUST"
What make is this shotgun and does it have any antique value?
He also has an antique .510 bore mauser rifle which I didnt have time to inspect. (never heard of this bore either)

Re: Identify this shotgun
It`s a Cape gun of some de.scription - probably Belgian or maybe German.
Cape guns are not valuable........especially in that condition. Date is probably the early years of the 20th Century.
.510" isn`t a `Bore`, it`s a calibre. A 12-Bore ( or `Gauge` as the Americans put it ) is nominally .729" calibre.
