I am in hopes that some of the Belgium readership can help with some background information concerning a high grade 12 bore SXS Sidelock ejector gun. Makers name: Marcel Donckier, Armes ET Munitions, Liege. Pre-WW2 vintage. Continental fine English scroll and bouquet full coverage. PM ok.

I know Marcel Donckier was a famous gunmaker, but now the gunshop it's close

The Other Sam & Rocco thanks for the tip on doublegunshop.com I found about 10-15 threads concerning this exact gun. There is a little more information that I am needing as I want to have made a nice leather and gold embossed trade label and get it cased. Galazan's does not have a trade label to uncommon. RmG

If you register and start a thread with your questions on the double gun site you will likely get the answers. There are some very sharp knowledgable people there that I have seen answer some tough questions.

No, I have found no trade labels. Do you have a Donckier? By any chance if you do would it be #1 or a Pair? If you have a pic of a trade label I can find a way to have some made. If you desire to discuss these guns at length please PM.
