[Relic shooter]

There is a Bool about Swiss Gunsmiths. Unfortunately I don`t have it. It is also Priceless.

I can recall spending crazy prices for makers books back when I was collecting, missed this one

Many of these small villages have records that go back to the year dot. If you search for the name of the town where the gun was made they can tell you more about the maker.
This worked for me several years ago in a town in Switzerland called Le Lech.

I concur with the conversion, but I'd still like to see the barrel, please.

TFoley these photos show the percussion conversion, proof marks & names stamped on underside of the barrel.
Back when I acquired this rifle it's prefect rifled bore & excellent overall condition was a big draw & have always leaned towards European & English mfg. firearms because their fine metallurgy standards & workmanship.
Unfortunately never got around to shooting this rifle & am now too old.
It's condition indicates it must have belonged to a long line of fellow shooter / collectors

I may be over the hill but will never be too old to learn & always welcome input from fellow collectors.
When wife & I had to downsize a couple years ago some of my library on European gunmakers & proof marks vanished so I much appreciate input.
Best regards,
Relic shooter

Excellent idea Holzwurm, I'll give that a try !

Enfin, je vois! The barrel maker is clearly, as you note, Blackon, and the word 'Tordu' denotes the manner of fabrication - 'twisted', rather than mandrel-wrapped.

After that, I'm afraid, I'm lost, except to note that the barrel maker operated in a French-speaking part of Switzerland.

TFoley & Blackpowder your in help identifying the identities on this Swiss Jaeger & the Danish Jaeger is much appreciated.
When I expanded the photo of underside of the Swiss barrel it appears we may have gotten the verbage wrong.
It appears that the stamps read;
TORDU & below; BLACHON* & MONTAGNY .

Having my library of European gunmakers disappear after we downsized really left me in a pickle to identify
my two remaining Jaegers.
Hopefully one day these fine rifles will end up in hands of fellow shooter-collectors who will see that they live-on for a
few more centuries.
