Thanks Drew for the addition. I don't see him as a major player circa 1860 so he may have been ramping up or just getting started. Being born in 1830 he should have been hanging out his gunmaking shingle in the mid to late 1850s.
Kind Regards,

I´m making new case for this french shotgun so it would be nice if someone could find any example picture of G.Callens traders label and publish it here.

You'd think a French maker would have a grander more impressive looking trade label that the two that Gunwolf found. After all, the French have never been known for having small egos  .

Tried to lift an image of the trade-label but there was a loss in quality.  125 rue du Théâtre à Paris XVe, en Octobre 1961   Jacques Gaston workshop But did find an interesting tid-bit and lifted images regarding Callens & Modé - Modé-Pirley from here: http://chrisferon.free.fr/archives-photo...quebusier_2.phpKind Regards, Raimey rse

Like minds. It would be most interesting, & probably most informative, to attempt to ID all in the images but I do wonder what liquids are contained in the bottles on the upper shelf next to that Darne, or whatever it might be.
Kind Regards,

I had the same thought: Maybe accids for barrel browning - he mentioned it elsewhere on his site.
