Info requested: Name of Retailer?
#58571 - 09/06/06 08:39 PM

Does anybody have any information about the name on this shotgun?

This is the only name on my best quality Belgian 12 bore, which can be viewed here:

Curl's Belgian 12 bore.

Any information, even translation of the inscription, would be appreciated.

I am also posting this on the General Forum.

Thanks,

Curl

Well, "Ned. Wapenmagazijn" stands for "Dutch weapons store", surely some kind of retailer in Holland.
"V/H.S. De Jager Haarlem" I think means "For/ HS(initials)The Hunter ( a common dutch family name) Haarlem (a town in Holland)" and is probably meant to name the client who ordered the gun and his hometown.
This gun, of very high quality, was made in Liege, Belgium, for a Dutch customer.
Traditionally, Dutch hunters ordered their guns in Belgium by way of a local retailer.
Greetings,
Livinus

Use the normal REPLY button on the posts, not the quick reply. The quick reply "times out" after a while.

I am in France at the moment, so I have no access to my records. One problem tough: between the 40'and the 60' the year-dates stamps are very fancy. The view of the water-table was not clear enough. One thing from memory: De Jager (The Yeager) is meant to be the 'maker' of the gun instead of the customer. I will post you the names of the proofmasters and the year of manufacture soon/.
