F Dumoulin & Cie Liege 20 gauge

[Phil C]

I stopped by a very small mom and pop store a few weeks ago. On the rack of only 5 guns was a gun that caught my eye.
I asked to look at it and found it to be a Dumoulin 20 gauge SXS hammer gun with 30” barrels. Bores are excellent and overall very nice.
I made an offer and a quick call to the owner that had placed it on consignment was immediately accepted.
I was then shown the A&F case that came with it and told it had a cleaning rod also.
Upon getting home I realized there was a leather box that was in the case that included reloading tools as well as a spare firing pin.
The gun weighs 6 lbs 1 oz.
I will try to shoot it this week.

That A&F case with goodies sure sweetened that deal! Nice !

Phil, I bet you will love it. I love to shoot and hunt with my 30" 20 ga hammer gun.

You did well Phil! Congratulations on this nice gun and outfit. Lucky you!

Thanks for the positive comments. The case was a nice surprise to get with the 20 gauge for sure.
Even more was when I went to start conditioning the case leather and realized there was a small leather case that I could remove. I had never seen this before.
It blew me away that the small leather box was able to slide out, and inside was the reloading items with a special wood handed wrench and a spare firing pin.
Thanks to Dr Drew I learned the barrels are fluid steel that were nitro proofed with 2 1/2” chambers, and it was made in 1928.

Phil u done it again how can I ever catch you! I had a 20 ga London hammer a Rossen I took to Argentina and wore out my thumb cocking it on doves. It never missed a beat and wish I had it back it was a Cyril Adams gun cased and a beautiful lite low hammergun? I had a LOM like yours and had a separate box made like that one to hold cleaning tools , oil and other misc stuff. Pretty neat you found one like that I'd say that's pretty rare!!! There is a name for that style LOM made by Redhead but I can't remember what it was called. Pat Lien in our group will know? Oh well glad I have two dive watches coming tomorrow I just bought and will wear them maybe even one on each arm. Haha Enjoy

It is an Elliott style case I do believe?
