Do you have any evidence of Gastinne Renette guns being produced by G. Granger? That's a new one on me, and while I'm willing to listen and learn, I suspect it isn't supported by any evidence.

Per the bore mm markings (16.0) noted above by Miller, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the gun is actually a 20 gauge when it shows up. 16.0 is more in line for 20 gauge then for 16 gauge.

Let me state, unequivocally, this gun is not a G. Granger.

It does look like a nice gun.
