Gunwolf wanted to see the Keighoff barrel marking. With the action flats jeweled, pinned disc set strikers and side clips, I consider this a fairly high quality gun for Belgium. Yes, it is a two barrel set. photo host

WOW!! It does have the HK on the breech face What a story that would make!! I would suggest you contact Krieghoff Of course the r is not there and the i and e are reversed, but ??? https://www.krieghoff.com/610-847-5173 Send them this link on doublegunshop and ask them to please research their records https://www.krieghoff.com/about-krieghoff/contact/

Are there Belgian proofs on the other tubeset? Either the previous custodian had easier access to the Liege proof-facility rather than the German ones or the mechanic he tasked for a new set of tubes(possibly two)a sourced ARMAF for the tubeset. With the German proofmarks on the water-table, it was an all German product at one time. Evidently the Liege artisan couldn't spell Krieghoff?

I now see the Krieghoff „Schwertanker“ low on the left side of the jeweled water-table.

So, what is the conclusion? Is this a Krieghoff knock off, or a real Krieghoff rebarreled in Belgium. The other set of barrels have the same proof marks and are numbered to the gun.

Once again, how or what does the other tubeset read & what are the country of origin proofmarks? Yes, from what I see a bona fide Krieghoff receiver & an ARMAF rebarrel.

What I see is K E I G H O F F and not K R I E G H O F F . That's heavy and looks like a fake! What would you call a P U R D E Y with the inscript P U E D Y...? There wasn't any gunmaker named KEIGHOFF in Suhl as far as I know! So someone wanted to write Krieghoff and wrote Keighoff for whatever reason. Probably he was not German.
Cheers, Gunwolf

Well, maybe it never went back to Suhl? Was there reciprocity between the Liege & Suhl proof facilities in 1954?

Raimey, I cannot imagine that this was the case in 1954.... Germany was not allowed to only make guns until 1956 and in Suhl = DDR there were much more restrictions.

It looks like the Belgian engraver couldn't spell German names. Mike
