The Crown with the LC is the mark of Lucien Clement, a major barrel supplier. The Fluss-Stahl is also registered to Clement. It is usually seen as Hammered Fluid Steel or Fluid Steel with 2 crossed hammers. He registered this March 5, 1903. A graphic of barrel straightening from Lucien Clement's shop.  Pete

Raimey, different chamber lengths? That is indeed interesting!
Sounds like a nice gun, JDW. Looks as if it's seen some use, but it could either be a good "project" gun, or shoot as is if mechanically OK. Nice weight, dimensions and chokes for upland hunting.

Pete, again, always a pleasure to read your comments and expertise.
Larry, where did you see two different chamber measurements?
It has seen use, I will re-blue the barrels and re-finish the wood, maybe try to re-checker, maybe.

Larry was talking about the gun Raimey posted as an example, not yours. Looks like a fun little shooter.

After I read what I posted, I realized that Raimey did show a picture of a gun with two different size chambers, sorry Larry.

Peter:
Thanks for searching and confirming my suspicisions on the "Crown" over "LC" being for Lucien Clements. I'm amazed by those safety-toe shoes. But the encircled "V" still plagues me.
JDW:
Did you attempt to drop some cartridges in and what blueing method do you use and how long does it take?
Kind Regards,
Raimey

They were wearing safety shoes even before OSHA.
Raimey, I didn't try any shells in it. The chamber diameters should be fine.
I use the rust-blue method, using Laurel Mountain Forges Barrel Browner. I might have to wait for the weather to get warmer to have enough humidity. Even in the heated box this time of the year might not be enough humidity.
As for how long it takes, usually it might take between 6-8 rustings.
Again thanks for all of your help. It still amazes me on the wealth of information here.

Those shoes look to be "sabots". Good protection if you drop something, but not fireproof.

I would not want to stand in them for 10 - 12 hours a day. There is a modern innovation in that image. A single electric light hanging from the ceiling. Pete
