N. Letawe

[Gankai]

I have a 1919-1921 Marcel Donckier sidelocked shotgun, engraved in the Corombelle style with the name N. Letawe stamped under the engraved trigger guard. The left handed side lever action was subcontracted to Joseph Saive and the barrels were made by Scholberg and Delheid. I would love to give this engraver credit and bring him back to light. Has anyone heard of this Belgian Engraver?

If Rocco Capace sees this he may know. I checked the Belgian engravers site but Letawe is not listed there.

You can contact Alain Daubresse through this site. He is the expert on Belgian guns.
