Thanks you for that. I have foundout that it was made by one Henri Pieper of Liege, Belgium in the late 1800s. The Proof Mark is the letter "R" with a CROWN on top of it which I think indicates that it is proofed for nitro powders. Pieper designed several hand guns, shotguns, macnine guns and rifles. There is very little information on him. Can you help with the proof mark?
