His eldest son, Ernest Dumoulin, inherited from his father both a passion for fine gunmaking and a taste for rifled firearms. In 1969, under the name Dumoulin Herstal, Ernest continued his father’s savoir-faire, developing a range of bolt-action rifles and double express rifles unmistakably known for their elegance and exceptional strength. The African-calibre rifles produced by Ernest Dumoulin were machined from solid blocks of forged steel within the company’s own workshops. Since the passing of Ernest Dumoulin in 2008, production was limited to a small number of rifles intended primarily for the American market.

Beginning in January 2026, ninety-one years after the beginning of the adventure launched by Mr. Henri Dumoulin in Belgium, the brand’s ambition is once again to offer its clients firearms entirely built to custom by the finest craftsmen, each a master in his own discipline. These firearms, of unmatched quality, are designed according to the precise specifications of each client. Entirely handmade, the actions, barrels and stocks are machined and crafted in our workshops, drawing upon expertise acquired from the greatest masters of the trade.
