Roger Barlow wrote articles about Darne's in the Gun Digests from the 60's-70's. Ted Schefelbein lives here in Minnesota where I'm from and he is a wealth of info on Darnes if you can get in touch with him. He also posts from time to time on the 16 Gauge Society forum.

What would the chokes be? 18.4. 18.4 18.5

I believe those numbers are bore diameter measured in mm when proofed. The specific chokes are not marked.

Just post on DoubleGun. You should contact the administrator and they will straighten out the registration. If you post about a Darne, Ted will post. It is like the movie Field of Dreams. Post and he will come.

One thing that confuses about Darne is that there are quite a few guns floating around that were by Regis Darne. They are not exactly like the original and are marked and numbered a little differently. If it doesn't say simply "Darne" on the top lever, it is by another maker.

Thanks. I will try again to get registered on double gun. The top lever says only "Darne" in an oval that is gold coloured.

The gun you have is an official Darne, no questions about that. Ted will be able to tell you anything else you want to know.

Steve Scobee 12-16-2024 04:08 PM

Would you happen to have contact info for Ted? Still getting no response from Doublegun.

Here is Ted's e-mail.
