That's a very nice gun. That hogback stock is about as German as German gets. I'd bet in that caliber it'd make a nice, effective boar-stopper.

Nice find!

Going a little OT, if you have an image of a Jules Bury "JB" stamp, could you put it up for reference? My French guild 16 has the barrels stamped with "JB" (in addition to St. Etienne proofs) and both I and everyone else who've handled it have always concluded that meant the gun was barreled by Jean Breuil. I'd like to make sure....

And thanks.
