I like the Faverzani except for the high comb.

I’d bet the French boxlock is a 2 1/2” chamber gun, and I’d also bet it is choked tighter than mod and full. Most of them are. It is a very nice gun, but, expensive for what it is. I expect it will not sell and be relisted. That will go on for a few years.

Best,
Ted

There are a number of "Berger"'s listed as gun maker in Saint Etienne. A Berger took out several patents in 1900's. A Louis Berger was a gun maker in Saint Etienne in the 1951 list. There are others. This from a Naturally.Fr sales advertisement with SN dated to 1950:



Berger Saint Etienne Fusil de Chasse advertised in on Naturabuy.fr.:
