(Translated from French - by computer )
Introduction of the rifle «Azur Legend Crocodile» of the workshop Verney-Carron on the night of graduation EPV in the House ST Dupont wanted to make ST Dupont reborn its bespoke in Faverges activity while gunsmith Verney-Carron, also holder of the company living heritage Label (EPV), created the workshop Verney-Carronhis workshop dedicated to the production of unique pieces. The two houses have decided to work together on a model that would express the quintessence of their respective expertise. Thus was born the rifle overhead mono-canon to Platinum "Azur Legend Crocodile.

This exception carbine, which the mechanism takes watchmaking as well as fine Armory, should also be off-standard aesthetics. The master goldsmiths and ST Dupont lacquerers reinterpreted the ground «crocodile» prized by leather goods from the 19th century to achieve, not skin, but in Chinese lacquer.

To obtain this sumptuous deep black decor, each scale the pattern need not less than 26 successive operations fill, painting, cooking, grinding and polishing. A thick layer of palladium brillant and unalterable was finally laid on the metallic parts of the book, as is the case for the famous lighters in the House.

Présentation de la carabine « Azur Legend Crocodile » de L'Atelier Verney-Carron lors de la soirée de remise de diplôme EPV à la maison ST Dupont ◆
▷▷▷ www.patrimoine-vivant.com/fr/news/show/4
Le hasard a voulu que ST Dupont fasse renaître son activité bespoke à Faverges alors que l’armurier Verney-Carron, également titulaire du Label Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV), créait L'Atelier Verney-Carron, son atelier dédié à la fabrication de pièces uniques. Les deux maisons ont donc décidé de réaliser ensemble un modèle qui exprimerait la quintessence de leurs savoir-faire respectifs. Ainsi naquit la carabine basculante mono-canon à platine « Azur Legend Crocodile ».

Cette carabine d’exception, dont le mécanisme tient de la haute horlogerie autant que de l’armurerie fine, se devait d’être également hors-norme par son esthétique. Les maîtres orfèvres et laqueurs de ST Dupont ont réinterprété le motif « crocodile » prisé par la maroquinerie du XIXe siècle pour le réaliser, non pas en peau, mais en laque de Chine.

Pour obtenir ce décor d’un somptueux noir profond, chaque écaille du motif a nécessité pas moins de 26 opérations successives de remplissage, de laquage, de cuisson, d’émerisage et de polissage. Une épaisse couche de palladiumbrillant et inaltérable fut enfin posée sur les parties métalliques de l’ouvrage, comme c’est le cas pour les fameux briquets de la Maison.

Re: Azur Legend Crocodile par L'Atelier Verney-Carron

Per Jean Verney-Carron this rifle is a .30R Blaser. Of course a custom rifle is available in the cartridge/chambering of the customers choice.

Now!! How do I put this diplomatically?




Good God, that is as ugly as a hat full of arseholes.





I see no similarity between that and crocodile scales. It looks more like flash photography through an old mesh fence while the camera was set on auto focus.

Re: Azur Legend Crocodile par L'Atelier Verney-Carron

Personally it reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer goes into the 3rd dimension.


I'd own it, but i wouldnt seek it out.





Much prefer how Hambrusch did their Crocodile rifle.

It's a 375 Flanged double.

Re: Azur Legend Crocodile par L'Atelier Verney-Carron

The Verney Carron matching croc-pattern biro is a good idea though.....

You can simply chuck it away when it runs out of ink!



I should add though that for a contemporary maker of double rifles, Verney Carron seem to be a little more in touch with classic style than many of the modern firms. While these 'extreme' designs that John keeps finding are certainly not to my taste, they wouldn't be building them unless it increased their market share.

Diversity is the spice of life!

Re: Azur Legend Crocodile par L'Atelier Verney-Carron

Even though these rifles are bespoke custom rifles usually per the customer's order, I would guess this crocodile rifle and the cherry blossom rifle, as I call it, as in-house rifles, to explore and display skills and abilities and create unique works of art.

I find this rifle amazing. Not ugly at all.

I would ask carefully how the enamel lasts over time if I wanted a finish like that.

If I ordered a rifle like this it would be a work of art, not a every day using rifle.

My every day rifles are plain and not much engraving, as I abuse rifles.

Re: Azur Legend Crocodile par L'Atelier Verney-Carron

Ash , the Hambrusch rifle is a dragon surely? Dragons apparently existed in Wales for a while but became extinct with the advent of black-powder so I am told.

The Croc rifle is pleasing in an odd sort of way. Whatever one thinks of it or indeed some of the other more gaudy objects we have seen posted here,I for one am pleased that the Rilfe/shotgun is used as the canvass for these creations. This helps support the craftsmen and women who build fine guns and therefore keeps these skills alive.

Re: Azur Legend Crocodile par L'Atelier Verney-Carron

If you look past the crazy "scales" it's an elegant little rifle. I'd take one with blue and case colors in 7 x57R or 30 Super Flanged in a heartbeat.. and they would need to put the hammer on the other side while their at it...
