Well, Axel just may be correct and the odd marks on the longarm are transitional type stamps from a finite period of time, possibly some were just used for a number of months. If that's a "Crown" over "C" on the underside of the scattergun tube, I haven't a clue what it might be. In 1894 the proofhouse made a transition from 0,2mm plug gauge increments to a 0,1mm plug gauge increment. So that might explain the "8.9" stamp(bore diameter) on the inside of the rifled tubes, which I think to be the 1st diameter, and the "8.8" stamp being the 2nd one. Can you tell if the "Express" is coupled with "Express non raye"? If so the longarm would date between 1894 & 1898. The example would be from a transitional period and just from the marks the inspectors/stamp applyers seemed confused. Maybe they were unaccustomed to some new rules. There are some marks on the rifled flats that more than likely are of Belgian origin and may have only existed for several months. There's a slim chance that they might import marks and be of Czech origin. Also the watertable is stamped "Belgium" and that would have been required to import into countries with country of origin stamps such as the U.S. of A.

Kind Regards,
