There's an article about the French Darne shotgun called Shotgun Lust where it goes on to say that it's the most beautiful shotgun ever made. These guns haven't really changed in about 140 years. They have a sliding breech and fixed barrel, so hunters can keep the muzzle pointed through the blind during reloads. You may want to check it out at http://www.shotgunlife.com

Why does every post from this poster always link back to the same web site? Unless Dave has agreed to this, I see a lock coming to this thread soon.

Although differant I don't think they're even the best looking shotguns made in France!! G. Granger might have a word or two to say about that.

Irwin Greenstein is the publisher of Shotgun Life, I believe! That could explain it......

The gun posted is very gaudy, kinda like a French "Lady of the Evening", just hope it don't smell the same.

I'll cut to the chase.
I have been reluctant to say this for fear of hurting someones feelings that obviously spent a great deal of money on a prized possession.
The .410 Darne shown repeatedly in these linked to posts, all started evidently by the same person, presumeably now for commercial gain of some sort,
Looks like a cormorant gagging on a fish.
If Dave deletes this post because of it's uncertain reasons for submission, at least I got a chance to say what's been on my mind since I first saw the gun on the web.
I am so deviant as to have wondered if Mr. Gournet might desire to anodize the tumbler axles a vermillion color, and scratch the thing up in a feather and scale pattern.
It would be no less off putting than Hef's Francotte's or Slow hand's guns with his likeness on them.
Out there doing it best I can.

To my eye, the Darne does not compare to, say, a 20ga field grade L.C. Smith. And who reloads with the muzzle poked through a blind?

I don't know. I think the Darne is growing on me. I like the field versions anyhow.
If reloading with the muzzle out of the blind as a big deal, pumps and autos would rule the day - well, maybe they do.
I could consider a Darne even though it lacks hammers.
