This is a very attractive gold and silver inlaid French double barrel percussion shotgun. The breeches, locks, and furniture are decorated with raised relief silver floral vine scrollwork and gold mask designs. The gold masks represent the satyrs of Greco-Roman mythology. They were part human, part animal and living free in the forests and represent leisure and hedonism, an appropriate design for a fancy French shotgun. The underside of the rib and the face of the standing breech have "5936." The bottom of the right barrel has "JLR" and an oval "LC" maker's mark. The left barrel has a "LE/CLERC" maker's mark, a partially unclear proof, and "BREVETE." There are no other visible markings. The Damascus barrels have a nickel silver bead front sight. The half-length stock has some nice figure and grain and a 14 inch length of pull.
