Recieved another shotgun today and wondering if anyone could help me id it.
Right side of the reciever ahs Ideal
Top right barrel ahs BELGIUM
" side of receiver has The Interchangeable
on the unerneth of the right barrel has S.V 5
Left side barrel has choke bore
underneath the left barrel has 180/180
on the band between the barrels has Best rolled steel
the underneath of both barrels has several different marking
There is a diamond shape with 12 c in the diamond
It looks like a Kings or queens hat on top of a circle with ELG with a star in the circle :?:

This has come up before and from what we have been able to tell the actual name of the gun is The Interchangeable That is always on one side and on the other is Rodgers Machine Gun,Keystone, and Pritzlaff Quality to name the one's I've come across. I've also come across two possible manufacturers The interchangable Model of 1901 was made by Simonis, Janssen & Dumoulin who were Belgium gun makers from 1884 to 1905.
And Neumann Freres who was located in Liege Belgium circa 1863 - 1924
There is aprobably an ELG somewhere on it isn't there?

Not really, depending on condition most all seem to fall in the $200 - $300 range..

Is there any other way to tell which maker it might be? I need a stock for this one. Thanks for the info

I can't find a picture of either. Odds are you'll have a woodworker make a stock anyway.
