Hello All,
I have a 20ga. Belgian gun from another unknown maker or seller. The only clear identifier is this legend stamped on the top of the barrels: Paul Schraff Armurier Bruxelles.
I have been unable to find the name Paul Schraff anywhere so far, either online (including searching this board -- there was one old reference to a D. Schraff gun) or in any books/catalogs that I've been able to put my hands on. I'm not sure if he was actually a maker, or simply a reseller. Given the broad knowledge on this board, I thought I'd see if anyone here has run across the name before.
I'll post some pictures below. What you'll see is what appears to be Francotte action. Looks like their typical Knock-About. The gun has the usual Belgian proof marks and a date code for 1930. Serial number is 8455.
There is a mark on either barrel that is a pair of crossed cannons surrounded by the works "Trade Mark". I'm sure I've seen this mark somewhere before, but can't remember if it is a barrel maker or maybe a gun maker's mark.
Thank you all for any help.
