Demarteau 9,3x74R

I would like to show you my Belgian Demarteau double rifle 9,3x74R. Its my first DR and I have looked for the right one for some years. I bought it a year ago. Its unusual in that way its made by a woman, Jeanne Demarteau. The Demarteau family goes a long way back and they were engravers and producers of shotguns and double rifles. Jeanne started in 1947 when her husband got ill and at least she was in business in 1966 when this DR was made. I know about one more that looks the same in Sweden and it have probably been one more. The importer is not alive anymore and his business is closed. Many Liege built weapons look alike. The parts were produced in small workshops and sold to those who put the parts together. This DR shoots well, at 90 meters 40-50 mm. But in cross. It has a simple but well done engraving. Wood and metal are fitted good together. It was mounts on it and I had put on a Zeiss with red. Barrels made by Falla. In my opinion it looks like a double rifle of good quality, not the best though.
