WELCOME<br />
When Claude <strong>Verney</strong>-<strong>Carron</strong> founded his gun making business in Saint-Etienne in 1820, he already had almost two centuries of family<br />
skill, know-how, ingenuity, and love of fine craftsmanship upon which to rely. And when this same artisan gunsmith chose as his<br />
wife the daughter of a gunmaker, it represented more than just a marriage: it represented the alliance of the skills and talents of both<br />
families, the legitimate transmission of the secrets of two dynasties of master craftsmen.<br />
This union meant the “in-house” safeguarding of a unique technological and human heritage that has subsequently enabled<br />
<strong>Verney</strong>-<strong>Carron</strong> to write some of the most memorable pages of French gun making history.<br />
In 2004, <strong>Verney</strong>-<strong>Carron</strong>, while continuing to remain open to the now crucially important new technologies, decided to purchase the<br />
traditional artisan gun making company Demas, and thus “L’Atelier <strong>Verney</strong>-<strong>Carron</strong>” was born: an artisanal gun making workshop<br />
specialising in the manufacture of prestigious hunting weapons that are even harder to equal - in essence the very summit of the gun<br />
making tradition.<br />
This alliance of vital creative forces, of the skills and know-how of the two companies, and the resulting pooling of knowledge and<br />
talent, has led to the creation of a range of prestigious high-performance products: masterpieces that harmoniously blend skill,<br />
artisanal craftsmanship and the very latest technology.<br />
L’Atelier <strong>Verney</strong>-<strong>Carron</strong> produces a range of luxurious, top-quality hunting weapons that combine superb lines with an utterly<br />
impeccable finish.<br />
These personalised weapons, each and every one of which receives the individual attentions of our Master Gunsmiths, are tested in our<br />

n AZUR AD ABSOLU<br />
Warning: this side-by-side shotgun has pushed the boundaries of<br />
perfection. Armed to seduce and designed with neither concession nor<br />
compromise, this shotgun claims its rightful place amongst the handful<br />
of rare and unique objects that genuinely deserve the epithet ‘sublime’.<br />
Just looking at it is a gift in itself, so closely do the curves approach<br />
perfection, and to use it is to enter another world of ultimate elegance -<br />
inherent and ever-present in the lines of a side-by-side. The exceptional<br />
wood perfectly sets off the curves of the moustache-style action body<br />
reinforcements; the metal is decorated with outstanding engraving that<br />
highlights the subtle finish and perfect rounding of the action.<br />
Available in 12, 16, 20, 28 and 410 gauge.<br />
n AZUR DAMAS<br />
Only a workshop of Master Gunmakers could bring back to life the<br />
ancient technique of Damascus steel and apply it to modern day<br />
production. L’Atelier <strong>Verney</strong>-<strong>Carron</strong> has chosen one of its jewels to meet<br />
this technological challenge. The AZUR DAMAS side-by-side<br />
double rifle is a rare and precious firearm - the UFO of the gun world<br />
(Unique Fabulous Object). While the use of Damascus steel is a<br />
fantastic technical feat in itself, the amazing marriage of the model and<br />
the material produces a result that will undoubtedly appeal to any<br />
connoisseur.<br />
Available in 8 x 57 JRS only.
AZUR SAFARI ELOGE AZUR SAFARI BUFFLE
When an exceptional product is blessed with an equally exceptional<br />
finish, the result is truly breathtaking. The term “éloges” (eulogy) is more<br />
than justified in describing this sublime creation: the wood is quite<br />
simply incomparable in terms of color and veined figuring; the engraving,<br />
produced by hand by a Master Engraver, is fine English-style ornamental<br />
in deep relief or banknote style with African animal subjects.<br />
This masterpiece of the gunmaker’s art is enhanced with a plethora of<br />
further details, including sculpted forend screw surrounds, steel pistol<br />
grip cap with storage reservoir, and side plates.<br />

AZUR Safari rifle becomes the ultimate companion. When every<br />

The buffalo is considered by many hunters to be the most noble of game<br />
animals. Its power can clearly be seen here in this model dedicated<br />
to the exceptional. The engraving designs are initially created by an<br />
animal artist, with completely original game scenes rarely seen on a gun.<br />
These are then meticulously reproduced on the weapon itself by a<br />
Master Engraver with unparalleled precision and accuracy. The result is<br />
truly stunning - the soul of the African plains literally flowing through<br />
your rifle. You also receive the artist’s original designs with the rifle.<br />
Other animal subjects are available on request.
