[img]https://imgur.com/a/uLaCekx[/img] I have this shield on the forearm of a Gastinne Renette 10 bore hammer gun and wondered if any of you gentlemen on here knew anything about it. Thank you for any help. Fred

The crown signifies the gun was built for someone whose family lineage went back to the royal family.

I can’t help with the initials.

Best,
Ted

Then number of points(9 here), etc. point to the level of the individual along with their initials in a cypher. Jani & Wolfgang are typically quite versed in identifying the level.

Had a Spanish shotgun with a 9 Pointed crown made by Luis Arrizabalaga. Then a capital D. Garate, the then head of Pedro Arrizabalaga said it was made for the Duke of Danista, and he added that the Duke might have been the worst shot in Spain. I would, then, assume your 9 pointed crown was made for a Duke or similar.

In many national heraldic traditions, coronets with nine points (often with pearls) designate a count (conde, comte, conte, Graf).
