First post here, I was directed to your website by a feller over on the SavageShooters website.
I just came into possession of an Albert Greener 10 gauge double, serial # 1280. I've heard there are a lot of counterfits of these, and just wondering if anyone knows what I could look for that might tell me if it's the real thing or a counterfit. I don't have any money tied up in it, (gift) so I'm not worried about investment value or anything, just curious. It's a fine twist, hammered double with the unlocking lever on the left side.
I've also got a 16 gauge hammerless double that my uncle brought home from France after WW2. It was made in St.Etienne, which I know had a large gun industry in the past. Under the forearm, stamped on each barrel is the word "Boucher". I found out on the SASS Wire that the Boucher family had a winery in the St. Etienne area way back when. I also learned that it's pronounced "booSHAY". They don't say it that way here in SE OK. Just wonderin' if Boucher is a brand name or whoever made the gun just stamped that on the barrels for the family.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
