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.

Stop it!!!

Thanks buddy
The last two were from an estate.
I bought the two cheap ones.
The XE was 640 OTD....yeah I was buying.

Some real cool stuff from varied maker's
I don't know anything about this one but guessed it wasn't just a dog.

That is stunning!!! Congratulations on another great find

Those are grape leaves and grapes engraved on it…. My guess is it once belonged to a vintner…..

Stunning!

Dang, your trap shooting is getting quite classy!

That is downright pretty

I kind of thought grape leaves also.
Being from France seemed semi normal maybe.

I think both are closer to skeet guns.
The Sauer could work though.

You need to put a red dot on it!

Seriously- nice score. Congrats!

Thanks Ron
Most of the gun I think is.
The grape aspect I cringe some.

That’s pretty!

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.

Lol.....that's kind of funny

I did that last year.....ask Sako
Yeah he carried a double.

When the markings they stamped on the INSIDE are crisper than what is currently being stamped on the OUTSIDE. . .

Not the most stellar wood fitment we've seen you acquire, but still, That'll do, Pig. That'll do.

French you say?

I swear you could host a clinic on how to find awesome guns and charge a premium.

Wow, that’s another pretty one, what ga.?

It's a 12
I'll Need to see how it's choked next.
It does seem to fit and point really well.
Still trying to find out various information on it.

I 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.

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.

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.
