Hello everyone, my name is Ryan. Well I finally got it! My grandfather was in WWII in Nazi germany and brought home two takebacks. One was a Mauser Model 98 and then this one. I have cleaned it up and its in great shape. So far from the markings I believe its a Krieghoff Early type Navy gun. It is numbers matching except the barrels. It has 3 barrels, a 3", 5" and 7" (guesstimate) along with a secondary bolt/cocking lever and 4 magazines. I promised my grandma I would not put any serial number on the internet(she has a real concern about this for some reason) so I photoshopped them out and left the crest stamps.

And a couple photos. I will post more with the markings later to help verify my findings though.
