A time when the forend iron never had wood
 

So for fun, what have we here?? I'll hoist a shot of scotch this afternoon in honor of anyone who knows this gun. (Hmmm contest and prize seems to be all mine but I will, upon meeting in person, stand the winner to a shot of good whiskey - maybe even two)

It is 16 ga, in need of clean up but otherwise appeared good enough to follow me home. Tight, on face, decent bores.
Cheers,
Jack

Husqvarna?

Looks like an early Husqvarna to me.

Early, yes. Husky - no

Time to exercise Charlie and Kyra. Hope to toast the winner upon return.
Cheers,
Jack

It is a Lefaucheux action gun. Could be from just about from any European country, especially France of Belgium. Husqvarna continued to make Lefaucheux action guns, specifically their Model 20 into the 1950s.

Yes. One of those countries is involved.

It's complex enough to be an early Cosmi ;)

loks lik sum kinda insect...

i had an old richards that was made like this gun once upon a time... charlie

Well, no winners yet. The mystery will be revealed in the morning. Dogs did get there hike but old Jack was under-dressed for the wind that came up. Old legs were a nice red. It took a couple hours to get them back to my sun deprived white. Had a good coat but should never head out without the long johns. The blizzard that started during the hike has yet to cease. 4WD and low gear for streets around here right now. Hate to think how buried we will be in the morning. BTW, the mystery gun is Belgian but not JABC.
