Chantry....what are the bores? 6.5 (in cm) would mean between 1900 and portions (undetermined) of 1912. 65 (in mm) would be 1912 and post 1912. The double and triple proofs are not necessarily indications of age. There were double proof guns well before 1923. It shows as 65 and the serial number is in the 29 thousand range. Here is a link either to the gun I bought or near identical version of the one I purchased: https://www.gunsamerica.com/935466395/Darne-copy-R11-SxS-Shotgu.htm

I upload the image. Chamber length in mm would make it post 1912. Can't tell you much more. Still pics of the barrel inscriptions, barrel flats and action flats would help out:

Oy. My eyes hurt.
That is an 1894 patent R model, that has undergone serious modification. It didnt come with a vent rib when it was new, and the stock is a long way from factory. It appears one sling swivel was good enough for what who ever did the modifications was after.
The condition of the metal seems good. I wouldnt spend a lot of money on changing things on the gun, that is money you wont ever see again.
I highly doubt there is an identical gun to that one out there.
Best,
Ted

Ted Lol, the metal is quite good and I think I bought the gun for less than $500. And the stock is even uglier then the picture suggests.  Thanks for the answers everyone.

I'm wondering if "J.G." the gun maker is Jean Gaucher....still in business. It's late. I'll look for a mark tomorrow. (My bad...I was responding to my own picture of a Jean Breuil barrel).
