The Parisian firm of Gastinne-Renette originated around 1812, and were known for their high-end firearms supplied to Napoleon III, the King of Spain, Annie Oakley, and many other notable figures. This fine European double was built in Belgium, and was a pleasure to restore to its original condition.
