SEYVE Jean
It is
about a shotgun to pinfire type Lefaucheux, barrels juxtaposed in (false) Damas,
stock in walnut (?) imitation American walnut tree, trigger guard with festoons,
locks “behind”, tested with St Etienne and of gauge 12 (the figure 17.2 on one
of the barrels indicates the diameter of this last to height of the choke, and
such a figure corresponds to gauge 12).
Barrels
manufactured by E*G not identified.
L =??
G =??
SEYVE J =
SEYVE Jean, gunner, street of Low Vernay, 23 in Saint Etienne, around 1868.
Punch of
the National proofhouse of Saint-Etienne.
17.2 =
internal diameter of the barrel which corresponds almost to a gauge 14.
In short,
it would be about a French production located, undoubtedly, in the third quarter
of the 19th century.
