Acier Cockerill was the trade mark of Cockerill of Ougree-Liege.

Manufacture d’Armes à Feu Liégeoise used this steel almost exclusively.

and here is a scan of the section of the 1910 catalog

It says it's pegion gun and weight is 3,2 Kg in 12G.
There are number ML guns in Bitkoff' cathalog 1910/11 and this type of boxlock with ejectors was worth aprx. 150-170 Rubles.
Definetly it's not clunker and could be in hands of some Hungarian prince

PhysDoc, I have a gun by the same maker (ML) it is a 12ga sidelock gun made in the early 1900s. There is some information on GournetUSA in the Belgian guns section, its URL is http://www.gournetusa.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=94
Pictures of the gun I own is in that thread, also here, back about a year ago. ML was a very large company and made guns for a long time.

I have a pre-WWI Mannlicher-Schoenauer M.1910 with a crowned monogramme so I did a bit of research on Nobility Crowns. Mine has seven points indicating a Baron. Nine points would be a Count, while a high crown with mitre was for Dukes and Princes. A crown with a lesser number of points, usualy 3-5, indicates a Nobleman (lower nobility). This is how it was used in central Europe (Germany, Austria, etc.), other localities may vary.
Regards,
Jani

Hi Geno

Thanks for looking it up in the catalog, you wrote
"There are number ML guns in Bitkoff' cathalog 1910/11 and this type of boxlock with ejectors was worth aprx. 150-170 Rubles"

it is as you can imagine hard to know what 150-170 Rubles was
worth in 1910, or dollars for that matter. Are there any other shotguns in that catalog going for the same rate that may serve as a standard like a Parker, Lefever or Greener?

Montenegrin, thanks for sharing that research, since at the time
Austria and Hungary were part of the same empire, I assume that the same rules apply. The crown on the stock shield on my has 5 points. Were you able to go any further to find the identity of the person who owned your M.1910?

Regards,
Fred

PhysDoc:

I am curious if there are any other proof marks besides the Belgian marks like a "NP" intertwined w/ a "B" subset, "Crown" over "B.P." in a circle over "FN"-fust nelkuli or "Nem Golyonak"? As per a treaty of 1867, Hungary was a state w/in Austria and followed the June 23, 1891 proof rules as well as the voluntary semi-smokeless update of August 23, 1899. After WWI, Hungary and Czech went their own way keeping the old marks till at least 1928 and may not have seen major changes till 1971.

Kind Regards,

Raimey

Fred,
I'm quite sure Hungarians used the same system, as they were united in Austria-Hungary (1867-1918).
No, I did not try to find the name of the Baron who used to own my Mannlicher-Schoenauer. I found the rifle in Germany a couple of years ago, with a new barrel installed by Waffen Frankonia Würzburg probably in the 1960s. So it could be Austro-Hungarian nobility, or German nobility. A future research maybe...
With kind regards,
Jani

Ellenbr: to answer your question, there may be other proofmarks, the shotgun is
actually with my father in Wisconsin, I've got pictures of the barrels and watertable
but unfortunately the resolution just isn't high enough to read the proofmarks.

Jani,

Thank you for your kind words and input. I put a post on
http://boards.ancestry.com/topics.royalty.austrohungariannobility/427.1/mb.ashx
to see if that might turn up anything from the people who ancestry research, I will let you know if anything turns up.

Jim

I liked those pictures of your sidelock. I had never heard of this maker before
I got this shotgun but I am impressed with the double I own. I gather from the very
brief entries in "side-by-sides of the world for y2k" and the "Blue Book" that probably not many ended up in this country.

With kind regards

Fred
