I have a pistol, gifted to me from my aunt some 25 years ago. Mre. Rw De Mutzig appears on the side of the weapon. It has proof marks and stampings on the barrel, trigger guard, butt, etc.
My aunt recently passed away. I believed the weapon was brought back to Texas from his WW1 service. Recently, I "googled" De Mutzig and found it to be an old fort near Strasbourg, in the Lorraine province of France. Today, I took the weapon to a reputable gun shop in Austin, Texas and was told that it was most likely made in the 1830's in Lyon(although there is one stamping from 1820, and another from 1822). I have NO 'provenance' (history) on the weapon, the gun shop owner said it was an interesting piece, and the value today would range from $800 - $900 USD.
I believe that your shotgun is from a nearby (if not the same) arsenal. What a coincidence. if you wish, contact me by email coachjeff@austin.rr.com

What does Mre Imp ate de Mutzig mean this is exactly what is enscribed on the antique 12 ga sgl shot rolling block shotgun?
This shotgun was modified from a French military musket, probably an 1853 style that was manufactured at the Arsenal at Mutzig. Imp ale is an abbreviation for Imperial, indicating the weapon was produced some time after 1852. Durring the period immediately proceeding the Franco Prussian War 1870-71, the French took large numbers of obsolete muskets and turned them into breach loading firearms. These were subsequently sold off to Belgian arms dealers after the French defeat by the Prussians in 1871. The Belgians modified them once again by making them into shotguns for the civilian market. You have one of those shotguns.
