A few of you may have seen my other posts already today. I'm doing to some reseach on my family's gun collection. This gun is a 16 guage double with the words " Syrena Hesse Arms co" on the right barrel and " A. Liege " on the left barrel. I'd like to find out where and when this gun was made, approximate value and any other fun facts you might be able to tell me about this pretty 16 gauge. Thanks for taking the time to look at it.

Thanks Mike. It was granpa's favorite. The chokes on it are super tight, so it was his pig shooting gun when he was in Malaya as a missionary.

g is 1928 and more info can be found at PeteM's site: http://damascus-barrels.com/Belgian_All_Proofmarks.html as well as Drew's site, http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dfg2hmx7_28dvjzkhgf . How about a pic of the area ahead of the flats up to the forend lug? Very nice by the way.

Kind Regards,

Wes:
I thought Joseph Cap made the tubes. Is that an encircled "JM" on the right tube?

PeteM & Drew may correct me but I'll guess Joseph Monisee for now: http://damascus-barrels.com/Belgian_Trade_Marks.html

Pretty Belgian gun, pretty gun period.
