Jean Duchateau is one of the top 3 Belgian gunmakers, in the realm of Jules Bury, Lebeau Corually(?) and Francotte. This particular masterpiece was Angelo Bee�s personal gun and is now offered for sale Here is the link; http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=267179831 Doesn't look according to the pictures as graceful to use in the field as Lebeau Courally or a Francotte.

Several years ago my friend Don Young called Angelo Bee about a gun that was described as formerly being Mr. Bee's personal shotgun. Mr. Bee told him that he didn't have personal shotguns, he just engraved them. Best, Mike Last edited by AmarilloMike; 01/05/12 12:21 AM. I am glad to be here.

If this was in A. Bee's shop, what did he do the gun? Granted Duchateau was very good. He produced many fine guns, but he is not in the same class as Lebeau-Courally or Francotte who produced guns for royalty. Pete http://www.damascus-barrels.com/Movie.html
