I have a ca. 1955 model 529 "Sologne" VC. Made only in 20 bore with 70 mm chambers and 68.5 cm (27") barrels. Weighs 5 lb 6 oz. Plain blacked receiver (now bright along the carry points but beautiful wood and superb fit and finish, including gilt bearing parts. Bob Day opened up the ferociously tight chokes and Todd Nelsen adjusted LOP and toned down the pronounced pitch. It's just a superb little quail and rabbit gun.
Cornell University Press sells reproductions of many vintage gun catalogs including Verney Carron. I had no good idea what model gun I had or when it was made so I randomly bought the 1955 and 1960 catalogues in hopes one of them would have my gun. Hit paydirt in the '55.
