Very rare and fine Sxs 24 GA / 24 Cal. Serie no 2279. Janssen & son.
Fine Damascus Finish.
Fine Wood carving on pistol grip and in front wood.
Started with Joseph Janssen in 1886 in Belgium. Changed name over time. Janssen& son 1895- 1937 AND so on. As a collector of guns I have never seen anything like this before.
I thought that was a T rex in the first pic but I guess it is a lion’s head.
Something not usually seen on a Darne side x side 12 bore sliding breech with tuned ejectors, (shells land a couple inches apart). Mike Sanders
Steve can comment on how common that is.
