Ah, lovely- especially the Excelsior with five palm steel, but they are both 12 ga. I check in at the NaturaBuy site frequently, as it is where I found my Ideal grade 4 16ga, a replacement safety, and an extra set of barrels in the white. It is time consuming and expensive to get the items here from France, which forms the somewhat serious notion of flying to France if I ever found (and had the means to acquire) a Perfection in 16 ga. Just don't tell Canvasback if you find one. Appreciate the links.

Mike,

I have a keen eye on the European Market especially the German and I will let you know, if I find something interesting. Here is another one in 16:

I find it interesting how long Naturabuy keeps listings available for view. Here is the link to mine, purchased three years ago:

Marius Mistral and Lebeau courally - interesting connection.....

Absolutely, Gunwolf, this is a "Poudre J" stamp.
Circa 1895-1905...
Looks very similar to my Rieger double rifle and Buckstix' as well.

Well, for those who are still interested, the mystery behind the sideplates is lifted:
A kind of Anson lock. What I find remarkable is the bright red RN 1 on the right lock. For me it looks quite modern on a 100 years old gun�
