Today I went to a gun store about 40 miles away. They've had a "French" 20ga SxS up high on the wall for a long time. Only marking I could see on the outside was Helice on the top lever. Shorter barrels than my Robust, I didn't measure them. Bead was there didn't appear to be cut down barrels. Bore condition was very good. Unfortunately it was loose in the horizontal lockup. No cracks in the wood, checkering had been sanded away. Scant pistol grip, not sure if it would be a POW. Metal finish was odd - a very Matt black. $599 but they would make me a deal! Just too far gone I guess, im not qualified for a project. My questions:
1. those prick marks on the flats an attempt to tighten lockup?
2. definitely 65mm since nothing is marked?
3. Shooting stars? Double quality mark?
