The gun locks up tight and has a smooth and precise feel to it when opening and closing. The ejectors are timed perfectly and throw the snap caps together as one. Seems like a pretty good gun! I thought it was an FN, but my memory was faulty and when I got it back I saw that it is a Fabrique D'Armes Unies DE Liege SA. Here are a few photos and I'd be interested in any comments or observations. Looks like a cursive "u" for a date stamp....1942?

The o/u was becoming increasing popular in the '30s & '40s. Pete http://www.damascus-barrels.com/Movie.html

Some with one piece forends like that one, some with the Merkel-style 3 piece. Nice looking gun, Dave. Looks like you maybe found a sapphire (if not quite a diamond) in the rough.

Larry, I can certainly be happy with a sapphire. Glad it's not gravel!
