Oh la la......a French double
Yeah .... I know nothing about it yet.
It was another from the estate collection that was affordable.
I'd have to guess undervalued judging from everything else he had.
Engraving isn't my cup of tea but thinking it was costly.
Basically this was a roll of the dice.

Can hardly wait for Junk to host a guided bird hunt for the team with all those beautiful doubles he has collected.
Seriously that one is a looker! Very nice wood as well.

May have been made by a firm called Bretton. They may still be in business as Bretton-Gaucher. I'll post something about a Bretton shotgun that I own. A lot different to yours as you will see.

Re: Oh la la......a French double
That is 100% correct! I’ve bought a LOT of guns that never made it to the floor because the owner was my friend and gave me family pricing. Some were even gifted to me for various reasons.JunkCollector wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 1:32 pmI think the key is seeing them first by getting to know the shop owners
Most guns don't hit the rack right away.
I always ask got anything old.
