Hi. Would love some help establishing the manufacturing year of a C. Masquelier 20 bore boxlock ejector. Nice case colored double with 28" barrels. Serial number is 5688. Thanks in advance.

Pics of the touchmarks may be the only avenue to narrow the date range?

The lettre annale can be difficult to interpret, and as Raimey suggested, a full size close up image of the barrel flats and just forward of the flats would let us assist you

Thanks to Drew and Raimey for your help and suggestions. A friend will post some photos for me in this thread later today of the barrel flats and just forward of the flats.

Here are some pictures. Looks like 1966 to me. You all can check my reading of the mark. Nice looking gun! ----Matt

Looks like my eyes are as good as yours on the date. Jean Falla stroked the tubes?

Ejectors & I see the Masquelier trademark on the underside of the right tube near the lower rib.
