Just picked this up. 20 gauge, unfired, grease dried up and stuck, 2 3/4" chambers, R10. No box or papers, no cast, nice wood and dimensions. 70mm chambers, scary French tripple proof. Appears IC and IM, I don't have tools for a 20 or a 28. No importer stamp, but, "Made in France" in English, on the rib is usually an export gun. I'd forgotten how nice a Darne 20 handles. Like a 16 on a diet. I have to strip and clean it. Pics.    Better than typical wood for an R10. 25 1/2" tubes, screams "Grouse!"

strange finding a farmers grade gun in that condition.....enjoy It is a 20. Maybe it was for the farmers wife. Maybe she didn't hunt. Most farmer's guns seem like 12s. And, really beat. Best, Ted

Ted, that's the second nice subgauge Darne you've scored in the last year or so. Gil
