Promo,

sorry, no speculations on value.
One way to get a decent estimate is to have the gun valued at an auction house: Dorotheum or Springer in Vienna, Hermann in Munich, Holt´s in London.
Or search for similar pieces (difficult in this case) in current auctions and see for what price they sell.
Some observations I have made:
German and Austrian guns of that period are worth more in the US than in Germany!
In the UK, British guns are always valued higher than continental guns - even if quality is comparable.

Another thought: you might try to contact Felix Neuberger at the Double Gun forum http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=9&page=1
He is an expert on Vienna gunmakers and may be able to tell you more on Anton Mulacz.

John,

this gun is built as a stalking rifle, just as it was the Austrian fashion of the time around 1900, maybe a bit old-fashioned using the Jones underlever and the horn grip.
Funny thing is the choice of caliber, 12 gauge Lancaster cartridge, really outdated and obsolete by 1900. The light weight of the gun (3 kg) may point to a light BP load, limiting practical range to 60 or 80 m.
Still, a heavy ball makes sense for hunting large game, red deer, wild boar, maybe brown bear in the eastern provinces.
