I am fairly confident that the encircled AC is that of Aimé Coquilhat (1854-1880 - dates registered with the Liège prof facility???) @ 1 rue des Augustins in Liège.

I do hope Dr. Hause pops in to give an ID of the pattern welded tubes.

Too there are some crown experts here too that might put a title with the Gold Crown.

I appreciate all of your the time with my gun. It’s not a high end gun but it has taken me on a journey of learning.

Thanks again for all of your help and if you think of anything else, don’t hesitate to post.......

Ah, we've been chewing on this stuff for 15+ years so every once in a while a Blind Hog finds an acorn?

Too, I'll work on info for the >>Grip Safeety<<. I well know of the German version and maybe(as typical) they lifted it from the Belgians???

I have seen the same exact grip safety on a Belgian SXS hammer gun. The gothic script seems to indicate the name DARRY.

That hammer gun also had an unusual action, similar to an English Daw with the cylindrical locking bolt mating with a recess under the barrels and non rebounding hammers.

One other thing on the pattern welded tubes, Léopold Bernard of Paris was THE premier tube maker & everyone, everyone emulated him. I don't recall if or how Eugene was related, but he copied Léopold's protocol and that's why Eugene used the stamps he used.

>>Re E. Bernard
While digging around the net I found the remnant of an 1865 law suit from L Bernard against the Eastern railroad company.
The law suit alleges that E Bernard was a French tradesman who moved to Liege and started marking guns with "E Bernard canonnier a Paris". The law suit also alleges that Eugene was marking anybody's gun with his name for a fee (2.50 Frs). That would explain why so many of them are around. (I found a whole bunch on naturabuy.fr vs a few real Bernard barelled guns).
Not having jurisdiction on the Belgians, Bernard sued the railroad company that transported them. He lost, but the E Bernard weapons were confiscated and his rights were confirmed.<<

In my unsolicited opinion, the gun is a "Roux Type", it has a rectangular locking lug, whereas a Roux's lug would be round. Also the German firm Meffert used a very similar grip safety, which firm was first is worthy of Raimey's research.

No lie, I am a huge fan of moules and enjoy a big bait every chance I get at a local Asian buffet. Although they, along with oysters, are bottom feeders and pickup ah some nasties, I still enjoy my fair share & a bit more. I attribute it to being hatched in Mobile??
