This is a c. 1900 Union Machine Co. by Simones, Janssen & Dumoulin. SJ&D also tradenamed Prize Machine Gun, The Interchangable, The International, The Continental (carried by Granny on the Beverly Hillbillies), W.H. Hamilton, H.S. Brown,; often marked with the June 20, 1883 T.J. Bovy patent. I suspect most tradename guns had case colors similar to that of U.S. makers Pre-WW1 Francotte VL&D 14E 20g This is a very nice 1942 Deforney Super Saive 20g We've got a good collection of U.S. maker's colors, but I couldn't find a high condition Lefever. Could someone please post an image? https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

It appears into the 60s some were bone charcoal Ugartechea AYA No. 3 A more recent AYA No. 4 with what I believe is chemical colors Nice Arrieta 578 with bone charcoal A $15,000 Armas Garbi Model 101 at William Larkin Moore with cyanide colors https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

Gun was marketed apparently in Dieppe. Pretty gun; particularly like the stock. The seller claims the case colors (Jaspage) are original or a well done remake. Any comments on the case colors? https://www.gunbroker.com/item/998258318 Last edited by Argo44; 07/26/23 11:02 AM. Baluch are not Brahui, Brahui are Baluch
