Listed as a Frankonia gun - that company has sold all manner of firearms and scopes made by other companies with their own branding - I've seen Zastava, Geco and S&B labelled as such...

I've seen a few Mauser action rifles fitted with .22LR barrels underslung in a similar manner but 20g is new to me.

For the price he is asking though you could buy one of these new https://www.innogun.de/en/jagd/rifles/hybrid.html

I would guess that the shotgun barrel slides forward and a shell loaded through the rectangle on the left side fore grip.

I don't know how barrel selection is made for firing but in photo five of 15 you can see a quarter moon sliver of metal that ends in a flat at the bottom behind the striker group that I would think is part of the fire control.

remeber that in early 1990s Frankonia had such Mauser 98 with a shotgun barrel in the catalog

they were probably very expensive then

It seems that this construction is quite old one: https://www.forgottenweapons.com/a-unique-pre-wwi-custom-combination-gun/
