Masquelier was one of the prominent quality Belgium gunmakers along with Francotte, Mahillion, and Lebeau-Courally. This is an outstanding high quality boxlock in remarkable original condition. Tight and on face. I don't know where this gun has been for the last 47 years but it certainly hasn't seen much, if any, field use. Ready to become your family heirloom.
