Argo, Yes, thanks, I have read this thread and all I could bring up on Google regarding Brancquaert guns. The gun I'm buying came out of the woodwork here in the US. I'll try to find put where the seller came by it, and I think he has had it for quite some time.I forgot to mention earlier that it also had the Purdey style hidden third fastener. The barrel lumps are even shaped like Purdey lumps.
