Interesting find. I do however wish we could see the mark & the Léopold Bernard datastring.

So from 14 November, 1881 forward we may see the Paris mark if the maker wanted to submit to Léopold Bernard for final testing? I do now see that a longarm would experience the full regiment of test from provisional to final?? Or did I miss something?
>>31428 - 1884 / 8102
inscription ; 8102.1885<<
I wonder why 2 dates or is one Bernard & the other for the test & application of the Paris touchmark by Léopold Bernard?

Le N/S 8102 est celui de arme c'est pour cela qu'on le retrouve sur les canon ainsi que sur la bascule.
1885 est sûrement la date d'achèvement du fusil.
En 1881, l'éprouveur du banc de Paris est M. Brun. Bernard ne fournit que les locaux.

Ah, I see that Mr. Brun was the Proofmaster at the voluntary proof facility under Léopold Bernard's umbrella. The situation could be that the >>31428-1884<< is a Bernard tubeset number?

Hi group members. Hope all is well. It has been some time since I have posted and wanted to reconnect. I took this little 16Ga French shotgun shooting today for around if sporting clays with some RST loads I still have in my possession. It was a beautiful fall, sunny day, with clear skies and crisp air. There is something magical about old guns and shooting them that is hard to explain. It is very satisfying and rewarding to see a gun made about 145 years ago perform the way it was intended for. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I thank you all for the valuable knowledge and resources you have shared with me over the years.

Thanks and we learned a lot too!! The story of the Paris proof house has been changed and amplified because of inquiring posts like these and from group interaction. It was fun, educational and historical. Would like to shoot that little gun. It probably is lively.
