Help ID shotgun, No Pics

[mouthpiece]

Saw a shotgun the other day and I can't find any info on it.

Side by side, does NOT break over. It had some type of sliding breach on top that you move the lever to the rear to open the chamber and the move the lever fwd to close chamber.
Probably old, probably english or european.
Anyone?

It’s doesn’t exactly sound like the gun you described.

What you have described is the Darne. I have owned and hunted with a few over the years. The sliding action is very smooth and can be super quick to reload. Most I have seen or used were 16 gauge, but know that 12 and 20 both exist.

Sounds like maybe a Darne.

EDIT: I see @okie98 posted while I was posting.

Sounds like a Bruchet-Darne shotgun . German I think.



Looks like I was slow on the draw.

There's another older Euro SxS called a Charlin? Don't recall exactly...something like that.

 

[OK Corgi Rancher]

Here ya go. Is it one of these two? And the other is the Charlin.

Oh…Darne…anyways

Yeah i think it was the sliding breech just not sure which one!. Way cool. That's some neat stuff I've never seen before!!

They are pretty cool. I've only actually handled a Darne one time many years ago but I recall that sliding action was silky smooth.
