Here is what I ended up with. It is a 16 gauge A. Bayle which is a clone to a Darne. There are many of these guns that were built on Darne frames by different builders, this one being by Alexandre Bayle. Some believe that Darne sold there frames on the side to other builders. The engraving and finish work on this gun is excellent. It has 27" barrels choke M/F and weights 5lbs 7oz. I broke some clays with it the first time out so I can shoot it. I can't weight for Pheasant season next fall.
