Hello Marc, good to see you posting.

I'll agree that Doumoulin guns are very good; I have two, a sidelock and a boxlock also a Byard 24 bore hammer gun. There are some superb Belgian guns available from little known makers. I'm always trying to prise a nice sidelock game gun out of a friend's collection. It just needs someone to produce a detailed book listing something of the history of various Belgian gun makers and illustrate examples in order to raise the profile. Lagopus.....
