I haven't been able to find anything on Heym side by side shotguns from this era, except some side lock "best" guns. They seem to have made a lot of combination guns at the time.
Why would a shotgun have a cheek piece buttstock? It looks like a drilling without the rifle barrel!
Any information would be appreciated. I've cross posted this on the shotgun gun forum too.

It´s very ordinary in older german shotguns. Even 1970´s made MERKEL and SAUER shotguns with pistol grip used to have cheek piece.

I suspect the majority of pre-war shotguns from all makers had a cheekpiece. This is a very nice little gun..I suspect the chambers are an issue for most although 2 1/2" shells are readily available. Unusual the 26" barrels (66cm?)..would expect the length to be 27 1/2 or (70cm) or longer. Very light...I'd be interested in the wall thickness on the barrels.
