recently came into possession of the above fine little french made gun...never seen one of these before...have any of you?
following is brief description:
THIS IS A DELIGHTFUL LITTLE FRENCH MADE SIDE PLATE GUN THAT WEIGHS JUST SIX POUNDS! THE 16 GAUGE FLUID STEEL BARRELS ARE 27" LONG. SIDE PLATES AND RECEIVER EXHIBIT FULL COVERAGE FINE FLORAL ENGRAVINGS. THE LENGTH OF PULL IS 13 1/2" WITH A 2 1/2" DROP. RESEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS ST. ETIENNE BASED MAKER WAS IN BUSINESS FROM AROUND 1900 TO 1910. LEFT BARRELS STAMPS INDICATE THAT MAKER WON A GRAND PRIZE AT THE PARIS EXPOSITION IN 1900 AND AGAIN IN LEIGE IN 1905, WHICH HELPS DATE THIS FINE GUN AS POST 1905 PRODUCTION... THERE IS NO BOTTOM RIB, WHICH IS SOMETIMES A FEATURE OF LIGHT WEIGHT FRENCH MADE GUNS...
any other input regarding maker and other guns would be appreciated...

"Le canon Plume : 8 - En 1855, Pierre Didier Drevet, maître canonnier stéphanois remporte la médaille d'or lors de l'Exposition Universelle de Paris pour la confection d'un canon en Damas exceptionnel ; un siècle plus tard, la maison existe toujours et se distingue par un canon ultra-léger, sans bande, où les deux tubes sont réunis au moyen d'une cale unique (brevet déposé le 10 octobre 1899, par les Etablissements Didier-Drevet) se terminant à zéro près des assemblages, le tout brasé. Excédent de bande arrondi et dont l'extrémité, à cinq centimètres du tonnerre, se termine en forme de "bec d'aigle".Ce modèle baptisé "Plume-Euréka", par l'absence de bandes, est un canon extrêment léger qui, cependant demeure plus épais aux endroits essentiels et présente des tubes parfaitement ronds sur toute leur surface ; le guidon d'une conception très spéciale est noyé à l'extrémité des deux tubes, se trouvant sensiblement plus bas que la visière, ce qui fait automatiquement donner un coup haut. D'autres canonniers stéphanois vont exceller dans la construction de ce type de canon, la Maison Fanget en particulier, produit qui équipera et fera apprécier, dans la première moitié du XXe siècle, des armes de chasse allégées et belles grâce à cette particularité : le canon "plume"." http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbt...true#Post396248Cheers, Raimey rse

I think you ought to try adding some of your famous anti-gun diatribes to your descriptions when you sell your guns Ed. If that didn't help sales, you could try one of your Pro-PETA anti-hunting statements to drum up a little business. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 3 million members and supporters. PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in the clothing trade, in laboratories, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds, and other “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals. PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. Read more: http://www.peta.org/about-peta/#ixzz2nGfdrBVKdon't sound so bad to me? what do you think? You might want to get old Ed Lander to weld the chambers of this 16 ga. closed so that no one can use it to kill doves. Can't take any chances, right? Some things are more important than money!
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
