A friend of mine just purchased a Henri Pieper Belgian Side by Side Shotgun. I've done some research and believe that it is a "Cal 12" model. It has rabbit ear hammers and a cracked stock with a handmade leather butt pad.

I can't seem to find much information on it beyond some photos from a European antique shotgun website.

He was wondering what type of value this might have, and some history behind it. The patent date appears to read 23 April 1881...

Thanks!
