Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/3 scale non-functional miniature superposed shotgun made by the famous French firearms company Verney Carron of St Etienne. 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, and is the first one I have ever seen. 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 engraved. the left side of the receiver stamped “VERNEY-CARRON”. The right side stamped “St ETIENNE”. The trigger and triggerguard are one piece and painted black. The forearm & buttstock are checkered walnut. There is no buttplate, and there is a screw head showing in the middle of the butt. It looks like that at one time there was a top break lever, but it is now missing. The metal work otherwise is in nice condition. The stocks show numerous dings & handling marks. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
