They do remind of Sarasqueta, JC. Not mine however, as I have just the stars. You may have saved the pix of another Charlin fancier. I'd like to see how one distinguishes between rabbit and hare with a pictogram, Peter? I thought four bunnies was crowding things a bit--but 8?
I assume my 12 ga. with the stars is a "field grade" as the action and breech block are unengraved and case colored. Don't have vast experience with Charlins but think the built-in castoff of the comb on mine is a very distinctive feature. Almost a "recurve" in the comb area similar in plan to a trapshooter's cheek nest but not at all quick and dirty. Very different approach and result from cast bent in at the wrist. Saw this again recently on the Merkel 200e I bought in Hanover PA. Probably everyone here knows or knows of Ken Buch as an importer. I commented on the cast effect of the Merkel comb moved to the right off the plan centerline and Ken replied that he didn't believe Merkel built guns with stocks compensated in this fashion. Ken is a great guy BHCBW.
