I've been looking for a 28 gauge Darne for some time and made a deal on this one on gunbroker after looking at it for months. This is a model R12 as it has two Darne Stamps on the bottom of the barrels. This particular gun sports 27 1/2" barrels choked almost cylinder and modified. The gun came with the original factory butt plate but has a leather covered pad installed that brings the LOP out to 15". The gun weights in at 5lbs 15oz. I'm guessing the gun came out of the factory originally with 65mm chambers and then was lengthened out to 70mm chambers as indicated by the stamps on the barrels. The gun was imported by Firearms Center Inc, Victoria, TX which I think would date at least the import of this gun to the 70's. I would guess the gun was manufactured earlier with the shorter chambers, but may be short 28's were still more common in Europe at that time. I have included some pictures for your viewing interest.
