I am new in this forum. Iīm glad if I can contribute in some way. I have a double rifle that looks like yours, but in the calibre 9,3x74 and made by Demarteau. Fore end and action looks the same. Not stock and engraving. My barrels was made by Falla which I donīt think yours are, but I cant see the punches properly. Your rifle was made in Liege. I have made a lot of investigation on my rifle and learned some. This link are good http://pagesperso-orange.fr/mallorquina/source/pageT.htm.
Here you find the different members of the Thonon family. You can learn about proof marks etc. Why do our rifles look alike? The answer is that most old Belgian weapons only were put together of in this case Thonon. The parts were produced by different craftsmen, one did barrel, stock, mechanism etc. And then the one that put their name on the rifle put it together. I donīt know how to show pictures in this forum, so I canīt show my rifle.
Best regards
