Much appreciated. About a year ago I got an 11 bore Genez muzzle-loader from an auction where the catalog misspelled his name. As a result the bidding was slow, and I got the gun for very little. It's a great piece, and it's good to have this info on the maker.

Wonderful article on Genez. Have a Pinfire Conversion based on
the Dougall action. It has a Underlever like the Jones but the
lever can be rotated clockwise or counter clockwise indefinitley.
Usuallly these conversions rotate 90 degrees like the Jones.
Have 2 B/loaders 10 ga-' 12 lb and 8 lbs- these have have
hinged forearms like Wessons and Whitneys-both Jones underlevers
Years ago Doug Eberhart the author of the Derringer Book told
me Genez was one of the best American derringer makers who
also engraved some of his guns.-
Will try to get pictures soon

Thanks for the comments, everyone. It was fun looking into all of this from starting with very little and traveling down all the rabbit holes.

Wow, I had not been on this site for a few months, I googled A.G. Genez just looking for new guns or info and found this article! Very cool and I like that you used the images of my gun. This is fantastic research thanks again

A year or so ago I bought a 10 bore percussion Genez very much like Daryl's in an auction filled with low grade, wornout muzzle loaders. It was the only quality offering. Strangely, the others brought silly-high prices. and my bid for a fine gun was the only one. I appreciate this information on the maker. Thanks AaronN.

It is amazing how much information can be found out there if you only look! I am sure I will be doing more articles like this.
Also, if anyone ever wants to sell or trade a 16g Genez pinfire (or any other size) let me know!
