Here is an interesting 12ga ejector gun I recently acquired. Although it has normal Belgian proof from 1948, the barrel address is from the Netherlands. I googled the information on the barrels; Dorhout Mees is a large golf and shooting establishment in the Netherlands. The previous owner had some information on the J Ae A, it is the initials of Johan Aemilius Abraham, Google came up with this which seems to tie in with the other barrel legends
Johan Aemilius Abraham, eigenaar Centrale Wapenhandel J. Ae. A. Dorhout Mees te Utrecht, geboren op 28-05-1903 te Zuidlaren, overleden op 05-10-1950 te Bilthoven op 47-jarige leeftijd.
Gehuwd op 23-jarige leeftijd op 10-11-1926 te Purmerend met Luwtje de VRIES, 23 jaar oud, geboren op 01-02-1903 te Purmerend, dochter van Isse de VRIES en Grietje HOOIJBERG.
Google is unable to translate Dutch, anyone?
As you can see from the photos the gun is quality although the wood is kind of plain, the barrels are Martin Siemens steel, 70mm chambers, weight is 6lb 8oz. I assume it was made in Belgium. Has anyone ran into this company before?
