Looking for help identifying the maker of this French Gun I purchased. Any additional info would be great. It’s a 20ga, around 60-65yeras old.

Sorry, links aren’t loading into post. Trying to fix

They work. Sorry I cannot be of help.

Photos posted slightly enhanced.
-- 20 bore triple proofed.
-- Barrels are by Heurtier.
-- Barrel boring by Pierre Terrier?
-- "Magnum" "Aerne"? on the top lever? Aerne is a French Sur-name - can't associate it with a Saint Etienne gun maker.
-- Nice case coloring.
Anything on the water table? - no photos. Also any retailer's name on the plate in front of the trigger guard?

Might be what folks call a French guild gun when they can't figure out who the maker is. I've got a couple of those...Geo

Salut Argo,
Un gros travail de traduction.

Qui était cet homme masqué?

Juste comme ça, nous savons qui a fabriqué l'arme, et nous avons une bonne explication de la chose 3 » 20. Belle. Merci, Fab!


Best,

Ted

Formidable Fab. Merci. Traduction est en cours.

There isn’t much on the water table. Nothing on trigger. Quality seems great, really like it and will shoot it soon.

What is this guild gun you speak I have never figured out how this guild system worked did each outworker contribute labour and hoped to be paid or was there a business man who financed it?did a guild finance it who did the guild sell through?this supposed system would be in conflict with mfg.and retailers who used the out worker system.im up for any comment or explanation.
