I bought a Bouvier 12gauge at the Vegas show Sunday i know nothing about the maker. The gun is a boxlock. It has nice wood ,ejectors ,3rd fastner , but barrels are tighter than full choke. I need information. Thanks

I looked at that gun several times. You got a nice one. I don't know the maker.

I just looked it up in Carder. He doesn't list a Bouvier but he does list a Boudier. However all he says is French proof marks, Sidelock, double trigger, English stock, Fancy wood, and Straight grip.
Hope that helps.

When I lived in the Bay Area back in the '70's our neighbor had a Bouvier. Looked like a giant black Schnauzer. Very friendly dog.

We have lived with Bouvier des Flanders for more than 35 years. Often two at a time. Great dogs.

There were Bouviers in France working as gun makers and dealers from 1651 through 1970. Without more info....

Was that maybe "Hartin" with the half crimp?

The name is sort of the French equivalent of cowboy. More literally, cattle herder--which is what the dogs of that name were bred to do.

Can't recall ever having encountered a French or Belgian gun carrying that name.
