Keith, thank you for you kind words and additional information.
Bles you I wish I could have seen this train-wreck before you edited it Gladys. "Bless" is spelled with two S's. "thank you for you kind words"??? Did you happen to ever have an English or spelling teacher who called himself rocky mtn bill? Disingenuous blessings from you are merely your own brand of trolling.
A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.

Don, as suggested above, the reason the wood doesn't match the lack of engraving is that the wood isn't original. Total restocking job. Looks to be quite well done, but no way is it the original French wood.
French shotguns are pretty hard to date. Unlike some other national proofhouses, the French didn't use date codes. Proofed with PT powder, 2 1/2" chambers . . . I think a pretty good guess would be a between the wars gun. 1920-40 or so. Might be newer than that; not likely older.

Does the top lever have a V-C styled stop? Gorgeous wood. Gil

Keith, your posts will never score an A for grammar and usage. That you consider typos a sign of ignorance only shows how little you know about what makes communication compelling and effective. If I'd had you in class as a student, we'd have banged heads no doubt, but I'd have taught you something about asserting opinions utterly devoid of information or facts. You're just a JR version of our new POTUS, another loud mouth who doesn't know how to conduct a conversation without insult and vituperation. PS: You need to read E.O. Wilson. Your background in biology seems bogged down in the 19th century. PPS: I'd never have brought this up save for your gratuitous insult.

C'mon Bill... you don't really expect us to believe that you are a devotee of E. O. Wilson? Did you read a quote on a tee shirt or something? Perhaps you have something concrete to back up your assertion that my background in biology "seems bogged down in the 19th century." On the other hand, we have seen ample evidence that you and Gladys Kravitz here have gone far beyond the odd typo. Everyone makes an occasional typo. I certainly do, especially on the tiny keypad of my cell phone. But you two take misspelling to an art form. There's a vast difference between ignorance and a mere typo. If you had me in your class, I seriously don't think you'd have taught me anything. I'd probably have felt compelled to go to a School Board meeting to demand a refund of the school taxes my Dad paid. It's not surprising to see you, of all people, making lame excuses for Gladys, I mean old colonel. It's also not surprising to see that you are still unhappy that your favored anti-2nd Amendment Liberal left Democrat lost the election. Hey Bill, maybe you and Gladys Kravitz could get a job in advertising:

Keith, You're just a JR version of our new POTUS, another loud mouth who doesn't know how to conduct a conversation without insult and vituperation. What is this, OT to the OT? Now we're bringing politics into the thread, Bill's "Butthurt" response to the election. Quick, someone talk about the Russians!
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

Keith, I am sorry my errors in grammar, spelling, and typing on my blackberry and mini pad have frustrated you. Not sure exactly why that is so; normally I am able to read though errors of others, understand what they mean without getting so excited as to name call.
Perhaps if I try harder, I can live up to your high standards
If my "ignorance" frustrates you, I guess you could use the ignore feature and not read my errors. That would save you some posting energy.
Bless you,
PS It is not disingenuous when I say "Bless you'" as I genuinely wish you would be blest into not posting as you do. It is also better than adopting a negative name calling and generally nasty approach toward you in response to your posts.
