I will certainly honor the $10 fee if this is sold here. 12 Gauge, chokes appear to be very full according to my dial calipers but I don't have bore size to compare. Barrels measure to 26 13/16 but don't appear cut to me? Barrel blue is getting thin, good case color in protected areas. Thanks Ryan

Just forward of the flats on both barrels there is a Crown over something - could it be 'ML'? 'LD'? (Lambert Dumoulin) The lettre annale is probably a 'f' = 1927 It carries Smokeless Proof which was mandatory after 1924. The chambers are 65mm = 2 1/2" The 'choke' mark only means a muzzle constriction > 2 mm or .008". Is there nothing on the rib? Unfortunately there is very little interest today for well used but not abused 12g Belgian doubles with 2 1/2" chambers, and the crossover stock diminishes the number of prospective buyers much more. https://sites.google.com/a/damascusknowledge.com/www/home

I really can not make out what is below that crown. For sure an "L" but the other character sort of resembles the "L" but backwards. Nothing on the rib at all. Thanks for the info Drew.

I suspect that fitting would not be easy, but the usual solutions - tape, vaseline, winking - never have worked well for me, and switching to shooting left handed would require a whole new brain.

I have never seen any that were not right shoulder, left eye but I figure a few might exist. The market for your gun is very limited and your gun is not of great value. A few hundred is the ceiling if you can even find a buyer. Last edited by KY Jon; 05/09/20 08:10 PM.
