1). Didier Drevet barrel dated 1924; 1924 - 2?871 (or 1?871 ??); gun number 1080 for gun labeled "Excelsior." (per other ads for Excelsior's in the period which are chronologically serial numbered apparently). 10 gauge ( 19.2); chamber: 75mm (chambered in mm)(3"). modèle EXCELSIOR .

Excelsior is a well-known brand created by DD and SIFARM about 1924. Here is a gushing publicity for it. It's funny - if you read the ad on naturabuy.fr above - the guy doesn't know what is Excelsior, has not looked at his gun and claims it was possibly exhibited in Paris in 1900 - odd for a guy asking 2800 Euros for the arm)(research shows he bought it in 2015 at another auction). I'm starting to think some gun dealers are like carpet merchants.
