I've been worried about the French "quirkiness"...the "Moi, Je Dis NO!" syndrome. Well, take a look at these two images and tell me there's not a similarity!! Since I drove a Deux Chevaux, does this mean I'm susceptible to contracting the more severe disease? Is there an inoculation or something?   I am afraid...yes for the first time in my life I fear the plague.

They were great little cars. Thats a particularly nice one. Unless Im mistaken the gun looks like a V21? Am I right?

I traded off my old Darne, and now have a Charlin, with a stock extention. I shoot it better than the Darne.
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

John,
If you do a search right here using the word Charlin, you will discover a lot more than I care to type. But, I'll give you a few highlights.
A Charlin is a distinct sliding breech gun that is different and unrelated to a Darne, until 1965, anyway. In 1965, the Darne company purchased the Charlin company, and produced the guns alongside Darnes, until stock was exhausted.
The Peugeot would have been produced using 1894 Darne R patent proofed and barreled actions, that were sold out the back door of the Darne company, after the introduction of the new model 1909 Darne, that is the action we are all familiar with today. This is commonly known as a clone. There were many. As a fast rule of thumb, they tend to be well finished, even the guns without a name on them, and they sell for less than a typical Darne.
As I said, a search right here will produce lots of reading and knowledge.
Best,
Ted Thanks Ted. It was the Peugeot I had no info for. I have only ever seen one and it had obviously had a very rough life. John

John,
Many, have. In addition to serving time in French colonies about the world, there were a few wars on the home soil, you know.
More preaching-I suggest anyone who does not live across the street from 4, ter, Rue de la Convention, across the side street from the St. Etienne chamber of commerce, avoid a project Darne like the plague. If you lived close by, it would be different. There used to be a very good restaurant in the old Manufrance commissary, across the street from the Darne works. You could get a good lunch while your gun was seen to.
But, a Darne project gun is usually a big mistake on this side of the pond.
Best,
Ted
