    JANSSEN, FRERES...Liege, Belguim..circa 1925..Side by Side, Double Barrel, Various Guages, Hammerless, Steel Barrels...In Excellent Condition is Worth $500.00 Plus....410 being the Most Desireable, then comes the 16 Ga....On the Continent...12 Gauge in the USA...For some reason 12 guage was always the Most Popular guage in the USA and 16 was the most popular Guage in Europe...and the 410 was equally Popular on both Continents..............

    Thanks for dat. I did not realize that my spelling was amiss on Jansenn. Mine has hammers I believe. I only looked at it briefly b4 purchasing in an auction. That was 4 weeks ago and I haven't seen it since due to our 28 day waiting period. I appreciate the help.plads
    ps. I don't like a 12 ga. recoil either.

    When it comes to recoil, I HAD, I repeat HAD, Model 12 Winchester 16 ga that kicked so bad most people wouldn't shoot it twice. I thought it was normal. LOL....

    It ain't what you shoot, it's what you hit.

    Obviously the recoil has a lot to do with the firearm, particlarly its weight, when its a double barrel.
