Description:
General Specs: Darne, 28 Gauge, 5lb 12oz, Chokes IC/IC, LOP 14 1/2", DAH 2 7/16", DAC 1 1/2"
Serial Number: SPC948
The Darne shotgun was created in France in 1897 as a very different action referred to as a “SLIDING BREECH” shotgun. Unique in that the barrels do not pivot on a hinge pin and the action is released by lifting the top opening lever, referred to as the “key”, and in one motion sliding the moving part of the action rearward, ejecting the fired shell(s), allowing the user to quickly feed two shells into the empty chambers and then briskly shove the key forward, sliding the action into battery and strongly locking the action into ready to fire mode. It is very cool and solid design, with few moving parts and really no areas to wear or “shoot loose”. The action was so well designed initially that it has remained essentially unchanged for the past 125 years and still being built today. The guns came in several series and grades, ie the Halifax, R Series, and the V Series, the top of the line in the Darne line up. The V Grades run from V19 to V22. This fine example of a Darne V19 is in very high, factory original condition and built on a scaled 28ga. frame with 26” lightweight barrels, the gun tipping the scale at a mere 5 3/4lbs.. The V19 is hand engraved and precisely machined, the stock is hand checkered with an ebony tip in the forend. The triggers still retain most of the niter blue from the factory and most all the French grey on the receiver remains. We received the gun with the original factory buttplate in place and the LOP was 13 ¾” and appears to have left the factory that way. The butt of the stock still has the curvature from the factory and we added a very classy Purdey style leather covered pad (a $650 addition from our shop) to bring the LOP to 14 ½”. The original buttplate will be shipped along with the gun. You can see the specifications below. You can still order a Darne V19 shotgun, starting at over $15,000 and wait at least a year for delivery. Or…you can buy this rare and most desirable 28ga. Darne for a fraction of that price and have the gun in time for your next quail hunt! Thank you for considering this unusual but useful piece for your investment and shooting pleasure.
