Salut,
Un vieux Darne comme je les aime !
D'après les poinçons, ce fusil Darne modèle R11 a été fabriqué dans la période 1902/1907.
Si tu observes avec une loupe l'étoile qui désigne le modèle, tu feras une petite découverte. Fais-en part au forum ;-)

Gene, Fab beat me to it. I have the same page from a catalog around here, somewhere, that I was going to post. I’m a Darne student, same as all of us.I just caught the bug earlier. Best, Ted

"Gagnant des Grand Prix de Tir aux Pigeons de Monte-Carlo"
M. Jornu won the Grand Prix du Casino in 1896; M. Moncorge in 1899. I haven't found the guns they used. There were of course other Prix each season including Prix de Monte Carlo, Grand Prix de Cloture and Grand Poule D’Essai

Gene, I poked around that site, the little straight stocked 20 gauge with proof marks for powder M caught me eye. That would be a neat little Grouse gun in this part of the world. I’m thinking 15.8 is actually 19 bore, but, the Grouse and woodcock wouldn’t care.
Thanks for linking to it.
Best, Ted

After I started this thread and time went by, I realized that in unpacking the gun and immediately going to the markings, I completely forgot to examine the stock inlay in the heel end of the comb. You can see it in part of the third picture in the listing. I went down and examined it this morning and was really impressed. It is a silver stock medallion (for want of a better term) formed of two interlaced highly stylized capital R's. It is formed in a completely filligreed style with the interlaced letters completely inlet into the wood, including the tiny islands. The whole thing is secured with the tiniest pin I can remember and there is even a small amount of engraving on the letters. The inletting is absolutely perfect all around the tiny details. Total size is a little over 3/4" x 1/2". Wish I had an easy way to post here and show this detail. It's the kind of thing that puts me in awe of old craftsmen.

You can email me the pics, and I’ll get them up for you.

Many French guns have those wonderful interwoven initials in gold and silver inlaid in the wood. It was a thing up until about 1920. I’m not a fan of gold on guns, but, if I found a gun that had it, and I wanted the gun, I’d deal with it.
Best, Ted

I decided to try imgur and will give it a try here. Here is the stock shield I mentioned. The dark backgrounds are the stock wood itself, the shield having been totally inlet, including the filligree. The color has changed, apparently from the effect of silver tarnish. Note: I tried the preview and the image appeared in the note. I had never considered trying this because I see so many posts on the internet that have lists of links to imgur where you have to click on each image link and return. I realize now that a lot of people are simply listing the link and not the proper imbedding link.
