So, in reality, no American double gun manufacturers even got close to that level of production. As Dig has pointed out, had there not been such high taxes placed on imported guns, American guns would have slugged it out here in the states, with the best from England, and the continent, and, well, I'm pretty sure that would have been the end of that, Stan.

I don't know about the other American makers but Ithaca Gun Company had approx. 390,000 double and single guns on the books by 1926.

By the way, I do like the looks of a Darne.
