Mr. Chambers, could we see page 15 of the Caunier catalogue?
Thanks in advance,
JC

For the catalog, go to page 3 of this topic to see the excellent cropping of the gun cut "Regina" and "see next page".
There is no doubt that all this was a good joke. I may serve it back to you for April first.
Happy Holidays

Geoffroy, good observation, convenient cropping on page 3, but...
Indeed, où est M. Chambers?

Great catch, Geoffroy!
M. Chambers est-il hors de combat??

Now I get it. The photo in Bob's post #896 (p. 2 this thread) is p. 16 of his catalog but cropped to remove "Regina" and "see page following" while leaving "Charlin fixed barrel". So much for scientific rigour. Robert, il est fou!

By the way, Robert, that is a beautiful job you did on that stock. Is that also a Darne copy? I can't tell from the pic, but it looks like there is a swivel on those barrels right about where mine has one. The way that gun turned out, it gives me renewed hope for mine. Thanks for the pics

Think I'll reserve judgement and wait for Mr. Chambers' response. I'll be surprised if he has intentionally tried to mislead anyone. He has said he doesn't read French. Since he hasn't responded, I'd guess he is appalled at this development. And Lowell may be enjoying this a little too much...Geo

The addition of text captions and arrows (pointing to the toggle axel [sic]) to the Regina illustration would make it appear that Robert believed the gun to be a Charlin or Charlin-manufactured and incorporating R-Darne build and presumably Darne patents, expired or otherwise. I have no basis for knowing who built "bees" and "queens but I have a notion that it is always open season on the rectitude of the habitually querulous. Cf. description of "Ferrous Brain" in the hilarious link "Flame Warriors" recently put up here by another member.
