Please help explain the marking I found on this 450-400 3-1/4" Double Rifle.
I would particularly like to know if anyone can identify the maker.
MARKING FOUND ON THE RIFLE (SEE PICS) = "ACIER MARTELE" - "958" - "1462" - ".450-400 EXPRESS 3-1/4" - "JAMIN" - "STAR / T" - "CROWN / JF" - "10.1" - "EL" - "B.BLINDEE"
ACIER MARTELÉ => Forged steel
958 => Assembly number
1462 => Serial number
JAMIN => Barrel maker
Proof stamps => Belgium made, proofed at Liège proof house
10.1 => 10,1mm nominal dimension for the .400" bore
