Speaking of V and P guns, here we have a bit of a conundrum...

http://www.gunsinternational.com/DARNE-V22-20ga-.cfm?gun_id=100381338

The gun is listed as a V22 grade. We can't see the flats of the barrels, but, looking closely at the opening lever on the closed photo of the action, we see it is clearly two piece. There was an earlier Darne V patent that used a two piece opening lever, and this gun does appear to be early, but, notice the pointed ends of the safety lever. Very P like in execution. When I look at the engraving on the opening lever, a few things seem amiss-the finish color of the metal doesn't match the rest of the action. The leaves are shaded differently than those on the action, and there is floral engraving in a style that appears no-where else on the gun. It has the appearance of two different artists, at two different times having worked on the gun. To me, anyway.
The gun also clearly has a pin through the head of the stock-this is not a factory original addition. Nor is the thick, black spacer under the "original" butt plate.
I'm not sure after several different times spent studying this gun exactly what we are looking at.

Be careful out there.
Best,
Ted
