Re: Need Help ID'ing shotgun barn find

A cheap Belgian pinfire gun, mass produced by a cottage industry in and around Liege. The 1911 ALFA catalog still listed them for US $ 38.- fob Hamburg. For comparision: An early commercial B Mauser in 8x57 was $ 200,-, a .30-30 Winchester 94 carbine $ 108.-. The stamps you describe are Belgian proofmarks.
