[fusion_te

!!!!!SOLD!!!!!  This is a 1/3 scale non-functional miniature superposed or over/under shotgun made by the famous French firearms company Verney – Carron of St Etienne, France.  Verney – Carron is a French firearms manufacturing company founded in 1820 and based in Saint Etienne, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes.  They are makers of very fine high grade shotguns and rifles.  This was probably made as a giveaway for some promotion, or maybe as an award, and is only the second one I have ever seen.  This one by far the best of the two!  13 5/8″ long overall with 8 3/8″ barrels with a bore diameter of .223.  The barrels are blued.  The receiver is nickel plated and modestly but expertly engraved.  The left side of the receiver stamped “VERNEY-CARRON”.  The right side stamped “St ETIENNE”.  The trigger and triggerguard are one piece and blackened.  The forearm & buttstock are checkered walnut.  There is no buttplate, and there is a screw head showing in the middle of the butt.  The metal & wood both are in near mint condition.  There are no moving parts.  Complete with the original wood shipping crate.  The crate interior with a thin plastic wood grained liner that is French fit to the shotgun.  The top of the crate stenciled “HAUT”, “FRAGILE, & what looks like “BAS” with the top part of the “B” missing.  Stock # JR-01.  !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
