Mac crashed snd I’m on my IPhone typing with fat fingers. Nice job Raimey. The photos of the markings on the gun are incomplete. A good photo of the barrel flats including the chamber length and “choke rectifie” may give more clues as well.

little question that raimey has provided the insight...complete with an anchor date of 1930. as with most french guns, that's likely to be about as good as dating gets. i would question whether the beavertail forearm is original - everything else appears to be typically french...and i would judge to be built on a standard v-c side plated helice action.
handsome gun...
best regards,
tom

Thanks Argo44, but no accolades are necessary as @ our level of obsession of DoubleGuns, it is expected of us..... Obsessive Attention to Detail is my new Motto.....
Lep Pozdrav,

The beaver tail, the horn butt plate with no worm holes, the side plated boxlock action, and the level of proof have me thinking it is post WWII.
None of those things are common, pre WWII.
Best,
Ted
