I have got two side by side guns that I would like to sell but can't find any information on them for value. Any information would be appreciated. One is a Laurona 410 3" magnum 2 3/4" chamber made in Spain. The second one is a Hubertus 16 gauge P.G.H. Buchsenmacher SUHL.

Depending on condition, around $500.00 for the Laurona because it is a .410. Less if it has issues. The 16 gauge will be $600.00 to $800.00, give or take on condition. Need to see better close up pics of it.

Yes, tradeex has lots of suhl guns . Suhl is just where they were made. They are not the same as the gun that is posted here. And I have yet to see a .410 double barrel on tradeex.

I am with gunsaholic on this. Their 12 g guns are common but in those gauges they are uncommon. That makes it difficult to price them.

I can tell you this, I paid $400ish for a very good to excellent condition 12 g Laurona and it is worth every penny. Hard to imagin that in 50's, Sears imported these quality guns as a dirt cheap alternative to pricier Stevens 311 ...etc. If I was in the market for a .410 SXS, and provided that your Laurona is in excellent condition (looks like that), I would offer you $450 (maybe even $500) for that gun.
 
I think the P.G.H. Buchsenmacher means "PGH shotgun makers". Suhl is the German city where it was made. It looks like an East German boxlock made for the European market. I see it has sling swivels, does it have a cheekpiece? Value would depend on many variables...chamber, chokes, condition, etc....any more pictures?
 
Hubertus means maker and Buchesenmacher was the maker of this gun. Here is a little info from the net.



Cannot help you with a model number , as the PGH catered to special orders by the GDR export organisation and I have no catalog. PGH stands for Produktionsgenossenschaft des Handwerks = production cooperative of craftsmen, an early form of socialized companies in the GDR. The PGH Büchsenmacher = gunmakers was a coop consisting of the mshops, machines, stocks, emploiees and outworkers of the former I.Meffert, Suhl company. From his return in 1950 from soviet POW camps Georg Meffert tried to run the once family-owned company, but gave up in 1959 and fled to the West. On December 16, 1959 the PGH Büchsenmacher of 18 gunsmithes was founded. These were already pretty old men, in 1962 their avarage age was 68. In 1964 they had to stop making drillings because the specialized master had passed away. On April 26, 1972 the PGH was reorganized into the VEB Jagdwaffenwerk Hubertus, which in turn was amalgamated into the VEB Fahrzeug- und Jagdwaffenwerk Ernst Thälmann
 
There is a club around here called "Huberushaus". It's the German-Canadian hunting club. They hoist a few pints in the Saints honour in October!

Sorry, getting way off topic here...
