Beautiful, delicate little 16. Shocking that there are so many continental guns without makers names on them or identifying makers marks.

I seem to see a AD marking on the barrels.
Could that be Andre Dumoulin?

No. That is an old controller of proof mark. They used those old marks prior to 1924. Every so often, they grabbed the old stamp and used it by mistake.

Who is Andre? I know of Albert and Auguste, but no Andre...

Stay mounted on WildCattle's horse for now as the scales are tilted that way. Jerry, has Ken not had one of those in his Christmas boxes?

Kind Regards,
