This is probably not a US made gun. The double set triggers and unique stock tells me it's of a German decent. That odd shaped cheek rest is a Bavarian design. The stock pad cut is known as a Hog Back. It's obviously old, based on the patina on the metal. Hard to say what age but probably somewhere between 1900 and 1950. Broad, I know but the picture is hard to see.
If I had to guess, this is a 1930-40's German break barrel rifle. The barrel and action is too thin to be a shotgun. Even though it has iron sights, I can see mounting points for scope rings. The scope mounts locations are probably recessed, as it is typical of European firearms. It's probably a war trophy from returning soldiers after the fall of Adolf Hitler. It's definitely a German gun.
Since I'm in the belief that this is a European rifle, the caliber is going to be in metric. Not that it matters since I can't tell what caliber it is, nor can I identify the manufacturer to see what calibers this rifle ever came in.
Either way, I'm stumped. Good find.
