This is my first time on the web site and I'm hoping that there is someone out there with knowledge regarding French made shotguns. 30 years ago I bought an old side by side from my great uncle. On the barrel it says "Janisson Jeune", and on the other barrel it says St. Etienne. I think it would be fun to learn a little bit about it's history, and possibly find out when it was made. If anyone out there has heard of this gun, please let me know. Thanks, Jeff

Pictures are the secret to getting max information. Both of the gun and almost as important the proof marks on the undeside of the barrels. From those we might be able to estimate when made, where proofed and what shells it was designed to shoot safely.

 You should post photos of your gun including close-ups of the barrels flats, the barrels just in front of the flats as well as the water table. I realize posting photos is a PITA but there’s a tutorial here http://www.doublegunshop.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=148935#Post148935 Most importantly, welcome to the board! Steve

   Hello Jeff S Welcome to this site These pictures are nice, but we could help you more with clear pictures of the barrel flats and action flats to show the proof marks and other data. Again, WELCOME Mike p.s. congrats on the French shotgun, I sure do like shooting mine. They are LIGHT and a joy to carry.

Thank you!

Holy crap! How did you get the pictures of my gun? Good thing I don't have any pictures of my wife out there. I'll take some pictures of the barrels in a couple days. I have to go partridge hunting all day tomorrow. thanks for all the interest. Jeff

Skeetmike copied them from the fox web site. He must have plenty of time on his hands. Sad.
