This c. 1760s-1770s double barrel sporting gun by Jean-Baptiste Croizier features three gold bands at the muzzles, golden clouds and rays around the blade front sight, "CROIZIER A PARIS" on the rib in the breech section surrounded by gold borders and designs mainly consisting of martial trophies, a sunken mark on each barrel at the breech (one appears to be LeClerc's barrel maker's mark), dished rear sight with burst pattern engraving on the standing breech which also has beaded and rope borders, mostly floral and scroll designs on the other bright metal furniture, "CROIZIER APARIS/COUR NEUVE DU PALAIS" signed on each lock, raised floral and scroll carving on the stock, a pinned red leather cheek pad on the comb, and sling swivels on the middle ramrod pipe and bottom of the butt. Ramrod absent.

Fine with 60% plus of the original fire blue finish and the vast majority of the original gold remaining on the barrels, some thinning and fading to gray and brown patina mainly near the muzzles and breech end, mostly bright furniture with distinct designs and some silver-gray patina, light pitting on the pans and frizzens, and generally light overall wear. The stock is also fine and has crisp relief carving, a repaired break in the wrist, some minor cracks, slight edge loss, and occasional light dings. Mechanically fine.
