Hi all! My name is Valentin, I live in Austria and on my search for information on my gun, I was redirected to this forum.

To describe the shotgun with a few words: It is a 19th century, pinfire, double damascus steel barrel shotgun. 16ga. bore. The hammers are blued, the barrels are browned. On top, between the barrels, it reads "Gastinne Renette arq. de l'Empereur a Paris. Brevet Westley Richards". Brevet Westley Richards is French for "Westley Richards patented". the gun seems to be in very good, untouched condition. Below, a few pictures. I am interested in any information on this gun and an estimated value. Any help appreciated.













Thanks,
Valentin
