He is off on his gauge size. 28 gauge is .545 caliber. In the description paragraph he states that it's .390, so in fact it's close to being a .410 bore.
That seller often has the old monkey guns for sale. For some reason I kinda want one.

Well I think its marked bigger GA than it is. I have bought from this seller in the past off G.I. (if its the same guy and 99% sure it is). Always a fair deal and he is cool to work with. I see a few I NEED (still on probation and had to go ingognito so as not to be discovered on yet another questionable site while on probation). I hear they are a cheap way to get a smoothie these monkee guns (made in brazille?). I would buy from John again no issues.
Walkabout, I wondered the same thing. The large C on the barrel followed by 12m/m would indicate closer to 50 caliber. But these guns and the DGW “28 gauge” guns were seldom what they were purported to be. I have a DGW “28 gauge” as marked on the barrel, that is .526 caliber.
If .390, actually .394 its a 10 mm. Not uncommon I've had a couple of the 10mm's, Spanish made and a lot of fun. I have a Spanish 28ga now and its also a fun little gun. The one in the auction doesn't look small enough to be a 10mm
Thanks,

After taking a closer look at the auction photos the barrel is stamped 12MM clearly which would be .472 in. I've not seen that size bore in the little Spanish smoothbores before, but then again I've never seen everything <G>. That one looks to be in decent shape, shame there is no bore picture.
A note my Spanish 28 ga is actually stamped 28ga and has a .550 bore No choke, but the bore has been honed and burnished.
Thanks

Good to know. He always seems to have a good assortment of interesting looking guns and I've considered purchasing from him.

They are fun little shotguns, but be advised the lock parts are very soft and will wear out eventually. I replaced the lock on mine.

Hello friend.
I meant that this weapon was not made in Brazil.
This Gezeel brand is not from Brazil.
Perhaps you are confusing Brazil (which speaks Portuguese) with Argentina (which speaks Spanish).
Brazil has had several weapons manufacturers... but currently Taurus (very present in the USA) is the one that stands out.
Gezeel is a model but I can't spell. Taurus is excellent! Thanks for the correction. Where are you? What is your favorite muzzleloader?
"Monkey Gun" (?)
Run away!
Honestly, every gun that I have ever seen marked with a "XX'-mm" aka; "metric stamped" instead of caliber or bore size has been a piece of ''1&sh'', made buy some hack shop,, some place on the globe that's trying to evade copy infringement,,
