I intent to hire the services of a well qualified gunsmith to evaluate the gun and answer all these questions. If it deemed worthy of shooting, I would only shoot it with light type shot loads, like RST shot shells. I am not looking to shot it extensively, but on a special occasion, it would be a wonderful experience. I would love for the forum members to recommend me some of the gunsmiths, wood finishers, and damascus/twist barrel refinishers whom they have great experience with using their services. Personally, I have used the services of Kirk Merrington and Gunter Pfrommer in the past, both with great results. I am just curious to find out given the fact of its origin (French), age, and type of this gun. BillK
Both Merrington and Pfrommer are excellent. From the French perspective it might be worthwhile for you to contact J.J. Perodeau about your lovely hammergun since he is French and he might be able to help you historically. JJ Perodeau, Gunmaker, Inc. 711S 263rd West Ave., Sand Springs, OK 74063
