German Double Rifle help

German Double Rifle
E. Schmidt & Habermann, Suhl
Engraved reciever and barrel rib.
85-90% condition, bores/chambers are pristine!
Beautiful wood, in great/excellent condition.
Slightly Engraved Exposed Hammers.
No rust or pitting at all.

Im not 100% sure on the caliber, it wasnt marked at all. All i can think of is that it was an 8X57JD, but when i looked inside the chambers they didnt look like a necked case, more like a straight wall case. We messured the muzzle end of the bore and it messured .32", the chambers looked long too.

Saw this rifle at an auction warehouse in Southern California (Little Johns Auctions), its set to be Auctioned this August. Was wondering if any one knows anything about it, specifically what it should sell for (ballpark-figure). I wish i had pictures but the battery on my digital camera ran out from using it all day.

The local gunstore owner and friend of mine told me it could be worth about $1,500 to $2,500 ball-park. He would have to see it to properly appraise it.

This rifle really caught my eye, i REALLY want to get it!
