I would sure like to see some of the work on Horsley marked guns.



You are correct, it is my louis christophe made by jules bury engraved by jules schoffeniels, it is a 16. I have restored a 12 ga like it, and just picked up a 20 on gunbroker like it as well that is my next project. I admit i have narrowed my collection to a small niche. I have a double rifle by the same but in a different pattern.

On the horsley guns I went looking for samples to post but mostly came up with the traditional rose and scroll or plain scroll work. I recall a good article in doublegun journal, but I am not where i can reference my back issues. There are some nice ones, but I regret i could not find a sample easily.
