With my limited experience compared to others here, they look a bit short in heigth, how are the firing pin holes in the standing breech compared to the center of the barrels/cartridge base?

Appears smaller "gauge" barrels fittedto the action. Rather obvious, I thought.
Who did it and why, unknown.

It's not the first Scott-built vintage hammerless double rifle I've seen with the barrels fitted to the standing breech in that manner.

Came damn close to buying a crystal-indicator sidelock Climax black-powder double rifle that looked a lot like this one many years ago.
It was definitely made that way.

Having said that, this one is a bit "over the top"...

Recent deep gouges in the top of the right barrel are most unfortunate.

Casper50, No to answer the question, pretty much the same as others have said.
If you are watching the auction I would be curious to know what it does sell for if you find out.
Frankly it looks like a parts gun although, of course, I don't know that the parts themselves have any value.
Unless you had a new set of barrels built for it which would be a costly endeavor, as you well know.
