Any idea of a value and would it be safe to shoot with light loads?
It appears to have Krupp steel barrels. The problem of shooting it with modern USSA made ammo may be chamber length (2-1/2 inch vs 2-3/4 inch. Regardless, it should be inspected by a trained European smith before firing it.

Collectors will not be beating your door down, so upgrading the chambers and forcing cone will add to the shoot-ability, but not necessarily the value.

It has all the appearance to me of being assembled-finished made by Gorenie Puskarna, from German guild-gun components.

Does it have bushed firing pins? A fine gun regardless

Kranj is very close to Austria, so I’d bet there was quite a bit of movement of gun components back and forth.
 
sides or bottom of barrels will have "nitro" for smokeless. random guess would be that it is 1920's-1930's. Is it lifter or ejector?

Not sure how to tell the type of firing pin
