Anc Etabl Pieper Serial Numbers?
THIS IS AN OLD BELGIUM GUN COMPANY, WHO NEVER USED SERIAL NUMBERS AS THEY WERE NOT REQUIRED, PROOF MARKS MAY DATE THEM A BIT.
Where can I find information on a Bayard Demi-bloc double barrel shotgun serial 03922 with a mounted knight Demi bloc made in Belgium and anc etabl pieper herstal belgique?
I might be able to help you with information because I know quite a bit about Bayard Shotguns - and one myself. I need photos so I can see all inscriptions on the gun, especially all the proof markings under the barrel. You can send to my E-mail address: ojn(at)post7.tele.dk Best regards, Ole, Denmark
Where can you find information about a 32 gauge Acier Bayard double barrel hammer shotgun serial 96237 stamped with a mounted knight Demi Bloc made in Belgium and Anc Etabl Pieper Herstal Belgique?
You read most of the information available right there on the gun. "Acier" just means "Steel" in French. Bayard, the mounted knight, and Demi Bloc are trademarks of the manufacturer, Anciens Etablissments Pieper (1905-1957) in Herstal, Belgium. The 32 gauge shell had a diameter of .501 and length of 2.5 inches. 3 inch shells were also available but few guns were chambered for this length and no 32 gauge shells are available in the US. They may still be found in Europe, but will probably be called 14 MM instead of 32 gauge.
